Two United Arab Emirates software options, compared side by side for United Arab Emirates trades.

Which should you choose?

Oracle Aconex and PACT ERP are both Tier A. Compare the typical pricing shown for each below. The tier is not a quality ranking: weigh the pros, cons, pricing and United Arab Emirates-specific notes below against your trade and region.

Oracle Aconex

Tier A · Listed

Oracle's cloud document control and project collaboration platform

Oracle Aconex is a cloud platform where every party on a project shares documents, formal correspondence (Mail) and review workflows in one auditable record; Oracle announced its purchase of Aconex in December 2017. Oracle's Aconex status page lists a Middle East (MEA) instance and a separate Saudi Arabia (KSA1) instance. Construction Week reported in March 2017 that Aconex had signed a five-year deal with Dubai Airports.

Pros

+ Documents, Mail and approval workflows in one shared project record
+ Middle East (MEA) and Saudi (KSA1) instances listed by Oracle
+ Oracle Aconex Mobile app for site teams
+ Still developed: Oracle announced new Aconex capabilities in April 2026

Cons

− No public prices: quote from Oracle
− Built for multi-party projects, more than a small contractor needs
− Not an accounting or VAT tool
− Support Central help is not offered in Arabic

United Arab Emirates note

Aconex suits main contractors, consultants and clients who need one shared record of documents and correspondence across many companies. It does not keep VAT records or issue tax invoices, so pair it with a VAT-ready accounting system.

Typical United Arab Emirates pricing: Quote-based; no public price list found.
