A new product offering from ALICE Technologies promises to take AI mainstream, with the ability to import P6 schedules directly into the tool.

According to CEO Rene Morkos, it is the most significant change to the software since it was first released in 2015.

“By making it fast and easy to bring information from Oracle’s scheduling products to ALICE and back again, we are enabling Primavera users to build on the investment they’ve made in their existing schedules,” said René Morkos. “We’re excited to see both contractors and asset owners maximise the impact that AI can have on their businesses with ALICE.”

ALICE uses AI to analyse a project’s complex building requirements, generate highly efficient building schedules, and adjust those schedules as needed during construction. Users can simulate thousands of options in seconds with the software, and then test different scenarios to find the optimum solution. It leads to huge time and cost savings and reduces risk on projects.

Partnership with Oracle 

With the launch of ALICE Core, ALICE Technologies has also joined Oracle Partner Network (OPN). This allows construction professionals using Oracle’s Primavera Cloud, Primavera P6 Professional, and Primavera P6 EPPM scheduling products to optioneer their schedules using ALICE.

As result, customers can bring enterprise workloads to the cloud quickly and efficiently while addressing the strictest regulatory compliance requirements.

“The introduction of ALICE Core provides additional value to construction professionals who rely on Oracle’s established scheduling solutions,” added Frank Malangone, Executive Director, Industry Strategy and Innovation, Oracle Construction and Engineering.

“We’re pleased to be collaborating with ALICE to help our customers leverage an AI-based tool to optimise their construction schedules, and we welcome ALICE to Oracle Partner Network.”

ALICE Pro vs ALICE Core 

The original version of ALICE has been renamed ALICE Pro. As before, ALICE Pro enables users to connect their 3D model with their schedule and estimates to visualise all aspects of a project in 4D.

With the launch of ALICE Core, the firm has also introduced a new, token-based pricing model for the ALICE platform. The token-based model, one used with other leading contech products, will make the platform accessible to a wider set of prospective users and enable those users to use it on more projects.
