The Construction and Real Estate Students Forum, held at the University of Nairobi, Kenya, on February 26, 2025, brought together students and faculty for a day of learning, knowledge-sharing and networking.
Themed “Data-Driven Decision Making with Oracle Primavera Cloud for Project Managers,” the session delved into how data and emerging technologies are transforming the way projects are planned, managed, and delivered. The participants engaged in a series of insightful presentations, live demos, and interactive discussions centered around the use of Oracle Primavera Cloud.
One of the highlights of the day was the practical exploration of how data analytics and cloud-based tools can enhance visibility, improve collaboration, and boost efficiency across the lifecycle of construction and real estate projects. Attendees gained a clearer understanding of how real-time data informs smarter decisions, reduces risks, and ensures projects are delivered on time and within budget.
Speakers from Oracle and industry shared real-world case studies, highlighting how digital transformation is no longer a future goal but an active part of today’s project management landscape. For students, it was an eye-opening opportunity to see classroom theories applied in dynamic, real-world scenarios.
