When it comes time to chat with your IT department about Aconex, let us help you explain why Aconex is a great fit for your organization. Read on to learn more about:
But before we get started…
Aconex is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution that allows organizations to manage projects of all sizes in a collaborative environment. There’s no more installing hardware on individual computers; instead, everything is delivered online through a subscription.
By eliminating costs associated with hardware, software and labor that are required to maintain an in-house project information management system, SaaS provides IT benefits that on-premise services just can’t match.
Contractors, consultants, suppliers, and others can all share and manage project information through a single system, which means higher-quality and lower-risk project delivery, all on time and within budget.
It’s not a secret that we love SaaS—and we think you will, too. Here are the benefits.
No installation
As long as users have a web browser available, they can use Aconex.
No upgrades
Forget about managing software upgrades or installing different versions—all upgrades and expansion are performed by Aconex during weekly scheduled maintenance times.
It’s reliable
Our data centers deliver optimized service to all regions, with full data back-up. Our 24/7 operations team also handles deploying Aconex to your instance, monitoring, maintenance, and repair, so you can work anywhere, anytime.
Work across organizations on your projects
With Aconex, users have a single point of access for all project documents and correspondence, making collaborating with others seamless.
Supported by the programs you use
Aconex works smoothly on the most common browsers and mobile devices with minimal system requirements.
We take security seriously. With Aconex as your organization’s central information repository, your confidential information is kept safe and sound. Here’s how we do it.
No more worrying about third-party info
Aconex takes responsibility—and any legal risks—for hosting and securing information from third-party organizations on the project.
One single point of access
All project documents and correspondence are stored within Aconex, making it more secure than sending via email or housing information across hard drives and physical devices.
Secure uploads and downloads
In Aconex, project data is structured according to specific processes, unlike in FTP sites. Information transferred from internal tools to the platform is securely managed both in transition and in the cloud.
Choose your level of protection
Your IT and/or project administrators can choose your organization’s password complexity and session timeout standards to satisfy corporate requirements.
100% neutrality
All participants on Aconex are treated equally and fairly. No one organization has access to all project information,
and no participant can view information outside their own organization’s data store unless it’s been shared with them.
Choose the regional site to host your project on
Once you choose the site, all project information remains there. It’s securely replicated only at that region’s disaster recovery site.
We’re ISO 27001-certified
As a certified provider, we follow audited policies and procedures governing areas like information handling, third-party access, disposal of media, and more.
Did we mention that it’s likely Aconex will save your organization time and money?
Everything is in the web browser
Aconex eliminates the need to install software across computers, manage back-up systems, develop and test recovery plans, or renew warranties and software licenses.
Let us take care of upgrades
Aconex schedules upgrades outside of normal working hours whenever possible, minimizing disruptions.
Get started quickly
There’s no infrastructure to purchase, so projects can begin almost immediately.
We’ll handle the late-night calls
Our 24/7 help desk support means you don’t need on-call staff if issues arise.
