Oracle Aconex

Tier A · Listed

Oracle's cloud document control and project collaboration platform

Oracle Aconex is a cloud platform for sharing and controlling project documents, project mail and approval workflows between the many companies on a construction project. Oracle's help centre also lists Field, Cost, Models, Packages, Tenders/Bids and Supplier Documents modules and a mobile app. Oracle agreed to buy Aconex in December 2017.

Pros

+ Documents, project mail and approval workflows in one system
+ Built for many companies working on one project

Cons

− No public price found this run; quote from Oracle
− Document control, not accounting or ERP
− Heavy for small jobs with few parties
− Help centre not offered in Arabic

Bahrain note

Aconex controls project documents and correspondence; it does not issue invoices or handle VAT, so pair it with an accounting tool.

Oracle Primavera P6

Tier A · Listed

Oracle's project scheduling and portfolio management software

Oracle Primavera P6 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management (P6 EPPM) is Oracle's software for planning, scheduling and managing projects, programs and portfolios. Oracle's documentation says it runs on-premises or in the cloud, and version 26 is the newest release in its library. It is built for large, schedule-driven projects, not for small-firm admin or accounting. Oracle also sells a separate cloud product, Oracle Primavera Cloud.

Pros

+ Plans and schedules projects, programs and portfolios
+ On-premises or cloud deployment
+ Actively updated (version 26 in Oracle's library)
+ Handles portfolios, not only single projects

Cons

− No public price found this run; quote from Oracle or a partner
− Scheduling and project control only, not accounting or ERP
− More than a small contractor needs for simple jobs
− Takes trained planners to run well

Bahrain note

Mainly worth it when a Bahrain client or main contractor asks for schedules in P6 format. It does not handle invoicing, VAT or bookkeeping, so pair it with an accounting tool.

Typical Bahrain pricing: Quote-based through Oracle or a partner; no price could be confirmed on Oracle's pages this run.
