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 Saudi Arabia (KSA1) instance and a separate Middle East (MEA) instance. In January 2026 Oracle announced that Red Sea Global had selected Aconex and Primavera P6 to connect more than 23,000 users.

Pros

+ Documents, Mail and approval workflows in one shared project record
+ Saudi Arabia (KSA1) instance listed by Oracle
+ Selected by Red Sea Global in January 2026 (per Oracle)
+ Oracle Aconex Mobile app for site teams

Cons

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

Saudi Arabia note

Aconex suits main contractors, consultants and project owners who need one shared record of documents and correspondence across many companies. It does not issue tax invoices, so ZATCA e-invoicing stays in your accounting or ERP system.

Typical Saudi Arabia pricing: Quote-based; no public price list found.
