Founded in 2000, Aconex provides a web-based system for managing the large, complex flow of information on construction, infrastructure and engineering projects.
For a project to be completed on time and within budget requires extensive collaboration between a network of organizations including builders, engineers, contractors and consultants. Typically, these parties will need to exchange and track hundreds of thousands of drawings, documents and correspondence items.
Traditionally, these industries have done this using paper documents, couriers, email and in-house document management software. However these tools weren’t designed for the collaborative environment of a project and, as a result, are often inefficient, expensive and leave companies open to risk.
Aconex was created to streamline these processes using the internet. It reduces the need for paper documents by allowing companies to share, track and store their information electronically using one central system. Benefits of using the system include reduced printing, storage and distribution costs, time savings by having instant access to information, and more control over risks such as information loss, disputes and delays.
From its 35 offices worldwide, Aconex is the world’s largest and most global vendor in its space, servicing US$220 billion worth of projects across 65 countries.
Product Description
The Aconex platform reduces the need for paper documents by enabling those involved in a project to share, track and store their information electronically, using one secure, central platform.
Throughout a project, the system archives and stores all project information, while maintaining an audit trail of mail and document transactions, so that companies can easily track ‘who did what and when’.
In practice, this means no more expensive print bills, no more waiting days for drawings to reach the recipients, no more hours wasted searching for files, and no more lost documents. On any project, the time, cost and risk savings are instant and considerable. On any project, Aconex allows people to connect with other team members across the world with the same ease as connecting with someone across town.
The system is developed in-house and delivered using the Software as a Service model, where Aconex is responsible for delivering product enhancements and meeting security, reliability and performance standards.
Aconex mirrors standard industry processes, making it intuitive as possible. The system has no data storage or user license limits and is backed by unlimited training and round-the-clock phone and online support.
