Aconex's unique data ownership model

How does Aconex's unique data ownership model work?

Before we all moved online, project files were in a hard copy format, locked up and secure in your own office or site shed. We’ve digitized that concept – each organization has their own secure digital office. We keep it simple with five rules:

1. You have your own private and secure workspace for your organization
   All your project files and communications stay organized and accessible within Aconex. And everything is tracked and recorded, making for easy admin and collaboration.
2. You control who sees your information
   Your files and assets are only visible to your organization, and visibility can be further restricted with user permissions. Aconex makes it easy to share and collaborate on a project, but it’s always on your terms and other organizations can only see what you choose to share.
3. No organization can delete or alter records
   Data and records within Aconex can’t be deleted. They also can’t be altered, outside of the inbuilt versioning function. Everything is recorded which encourages transparency and accountability for every organization and user.
4. No organization has rights to your data
   There’s no super user in Aconex. The project owner can’t see your data unless you choose to share it with them. So no one, including the project owner, controls your data, except for you.
5. Your data is yours
   Your data will always be yours – you can’t suddenly be cut off or denied access without notice. At any time during the project or at the project’s end, you can request an archive of your data.

What does this mean for me?

It means you can focus on what’s important – your job.

Aconex makes your work easier. It’s all your files, correspondence, workflows and project history in one place and it’s accessible from anywhere with an internet connection. But it’s also your data on someone else’s system, and we know that can be a little unnerving. But you don’t need to worry. With Aconex, your data is safe, secure, accessible and most importantly, controlled by you and no one else.

Whether you’re designing a high-rise or pouring a concrete slab, Aconex’s data ownership model is designed to give you peace of mind. We think this is a better way of working – one where you can collaborate with confidence and embrace Aconex’s full potential, all while knowing your data is protected.

At Oracle Aconex, the data ownership model is about bringing more trust, efficiency and collaboration to your every day, no matter where you fit into a project. That’s why we’re proud of it.
