Getting your team ready to go live

Don’t miss a step getting Aconex up and running—use our checklists to tick off the most common tasks involved in the implementation process.

As the person responsible for implementing Aconex for your project, it’s likely that you’ll be the go-to person informing the team about how to use Aconex, their roles, and signing up. In this article we’ll look at:

  • Go-live preparation – what you need to do before getting others involved
  • Project introduction – what to tell your team about using Aconex
  • Frequently used project and Org Admin tasks – a handy list for your admins
  • Email templates and cheat sheets – downloads designed to make life easier

 

Go-live preparation: Checklist

You’ll want to tick off these tasks before your project goes live. This ensures that you and your team are prepared to kick off your project on your go-live date without any delays.

  • Create user accounts for colleagues and assign roles to them so that they’re ready to get started on Aconex from day one.
  • Ensure external organizations are registered on Aconex so that they can access the project without any delays.
  • Make sure external project participants have set up their Aconex accounts—their own Org Admins can help with this.
  • Finalize project procedure documentation.
  • Suggest project participants check out Aconex training on Support Central. We recommend checking out Aconex Essentials to learn more about the most common tasks.
  • Upload a logo for your project to keep things looking professional.
  • Advise team members of your project’s go-live date.
