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.

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.

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