Problem

Most projects involve a great deal of collaboration, communication, and compromise between dozens of people, every one of whom has a way to contribute to, or improve upon the project in order to keep all aspects running smoothly. It can be extremely challenging to organize people in an effective, practical, secure, and confidential manner without the proper tools in order to keep everyone actioning the latest documents. With so many people simultaneously working on the same project, it is vital that every member is kept up to date and communicating efficiently, or the entire project is vulnerable to costly errors, rework, and disputes that could have otherwise been avoided.

Solution

Aconex eliminates these major problems, allowing you to turn your full focus onto the project at hand. With instant notifications, project-wide access to models, documents, and records, and cross-discipline collaboration on a single platform, Aconex enables smooth, polished communication between participants at all times. Not only does this make the process more efficient and accessible for users, but it significantly decreases the risk of any mistakes or miscalculations that are typically caused by errors in communication. Files can be easily sent back and forth between participants, improving teamwork and enabling the rapid exchange of ideas.

With drag-and-drop workflow, Aconex gives you full control over every step of the project, and with its comprehensive audit-trail, you will have access to a full, in-depth walk-through of your progress, allowing for easy appraisal and review at any point in time. This is especially useful for reports, and can act as a great reference point for future projects.
