Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Oracle Aconex facilitates the project management processes in our company, with reliable constructions features. Oracle Aconex gives us a budget tracking possibility, where events and operational expenses are marked and identified. Moreso, Oracle Aconex helps in incident reporting and operates online or even offline to reach more businesses. The tool has permit and insurance tracking features, allowing the entire project to run smoothly.
Pros
  • The existence of insurance and permit tracking.
  • Budgetary control measures and expense monitor.
  • Job costing and logistical management.
  • Skills and competencies improvement.
Cons
  • Oracle Aconex has no compliance management
  • More so, equipment management and asset valuation is missing.
  • The accounting integration lacks on Oracle Aconex.
Likelihood to Recommend
For outstanding project managing and operational assistance, Oracle Aconex is an incredible program. The budget that suits every project are met and followed. More so, Oracle Aconex takes the permits required, for instance, the insurance permit and the license tracking. The contractor management feature is also encoded on Oracle Aconex, making the investor and the contractor have the same objective.

  • Oracle Aconex tracks and controls the budgets set.
  • Oracle Aconex allows license and insurance tracking are conducted, to avoid losses.
  • Job costing and other logistical processes are handled by Oracle Aconex.
Alternatives Considered
Oracle Aconex has numerous tracking capabilities, from the licensing, the insurance part, among the budgetary or costs. More so, Oracle Aconex has the offline access, a form of back up, to ensure that all operations are meet on time. The program increases or improves the skills and the knowledge base of the employees.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Aconex was used by our project team on a $30 million horizontal infrastructure project in Toronto for a public sector client. The project participants were the client (owner), project manager (our firm), constructor, landscape lead consultant and a civil engineering consultant. The Aconex "project" was bifurcated into the design development/construction documentation and construction phase. Aconex addressed both neutrally hosted file sharing and business process control.
Pros
  • File Sharing - unlimited storage, version control and access control on a neutral host - Aconex is significantly superior to ftp, SharePoint or a contractor hosted platform in that once onboarded, each user organization has equal privileges and can in turn onboard any number of members within the respective organizations.
  • Process and Workflow Management - while imperfect, Aconex offers the opportunity to customize process control and enforcement. Our team used these processes for RFI preparation and response, submittal tracking and other custom requirements.
  • Neutrality - while mentioned, the neutral host places all project participants on a equal basis. Typically, non-neutral platforms favor in-house participants to the detriment of the project. Until shared, files are 100% private to the respective organizations.
  • Mobile interface - good (not perfect) access to unlimited project file information from a mobile device.
  • Audit trail - no more "I didn't get that document". File sharing and file opening is tracked by user. Transmittals are a matter of record and there's no 'delete' function.
Cons
  • Interface needs work; graphically inelegant, somewhat non-intuitive.
  • Process controls could be better 'templated' for industry standards.
  • Dashboard/to do for project managers - it's still too hard to see who is slowing the project down.
Likelihood to Recommend
[It is] well suited to large scale complex construction projects with many participants. Aconex requires patience and training and, although it's good, it could be better. Short duration, small projects probably aren't a good fit.
Return on Investment
  • Reductions in print costs alone (subcontractor bid process) paid completely for the use of the product. Further benefits to all project participants included process streamlining and 100% access to all project documentation (Drawings, Specifications, Contracts, Notices of Change, Change Orders etc.) from any online source including mobile devices. Benefits probably accounted for 150% of product cost.
  • Intangible benefits included reduced exposure to claims as a result of good (and agreed process tracking).
Alternatives Considered
I am currently using file sharing such as Egnyte and ShareFile which are useful but don't have much of a transmittal or inmail functionality so I can't really speak to other products in the same league as Aconex. I don't typically like proprietary contractor solutions due to their non-neutrality and embedded agendas, which often are not consistent with the owner's interests.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Aconex is being used as a client communication tool at my workplace for documents and mail queries. It is used across the whole organization by projects whereby the client's document control program uses Aconex. Aconex addresses the business issue of client-based programs, which we are required to use to comply with our clients' standards.
Pros
  • Revision Control.
  • Document Transmittal.
  • Bulk Processing.
Cons
  • Mail close out features.
  • Document searching.
  • Document selection for transmittal.
Likelihood to Recommend
Aconex is well suited to offices that have document standards across the board, that is the same identifiers for drawings and documents. Aconex is intelligently programmed to extract data from filenames, and has fields upon entering data for the review process. I have not come across a scenario where Aconex is less appropriate so far in my use.

  • Being able to communicate with a client for document submission.
  • Client communication for mail that is traceable.
  • Double handling of documents, as we have another internal document control program.
Alternatives Considered
Aconex's document control workflow allows for multiple versions of the same revision, enabling markups to be seen and document history as appropriate. This is on par with SOLIDWORKS EPDM, and is by far better than InEight's TeamBinder, as the originator and uploader of the document are able to change the version without the need for an administrator.
