Project Controls Inspiration Day France
Join us for an inspiring day dedicated to the future of project controls!
Practical information
📅 Date: 4th of December 2025
📍 Location: Imagin'Office La Défense, Paris
💡 Theme: From Primavera P6 to Oracle Primavera Cloud
About the event
We are happy to invite you to our first Project Controls Inspiration Day in France!
We will focus on the move from Primavera P6 to Oracle Primavera Cloud. We will explore how teams make the switch, what lean planning looks like in the cloud, and where Oracle is taking the platform next. If your company already runs OPC, the day will still inspire you to get the most out of the tool. We will share real project stories, lessons from large-scale roll-outs, and a first look at upcoming features you will want to test.
Join us on December 4th at Imagin'Office La Défense to discover the future of project controls.
In France, we see project teams eager to embrace smarter, leaner ways of working. Our PCID is about showing what’s possible when we move from tools that served us in the past to platforms that will carry us into the future.

OPC: more than a planning tool - Frédéric Debouche (Proove) |
Oracle Primavera Cloud goes far beyond planning — it's a complete platform for managing projects and organizations. In this session, Frédéric will showcase OPC’s advanced capabilities: LEAN planning, native risk integration (including qualitative and quantitative risk via Monte Carlo simulation), and portfolio management. He’ll also explain how OPC fits into Oracle’s broader Smart Construction Platform alongside Unifier and Aconex — offering a unified, robust, and modern environment for collaboration, governance, and performance. |
