How do we implement Aconex?

Implementation is a process. We'll take you through the stages and lead you to success.

Implementing Aconex can be straightforward with the right planning and support.

Your requirements will vary depending on the project you’re delivering, and it’s important to consider the factors that could affect your setup.

With an experienced Aconex consultant by your side and a proven approach to follow, you can configure Aconex with greater confidence and significantly reduce the risk of important details being missed.

Let's take a quick look at our approach

Plan

First, we need to understand what needs to be delivered.

Your consultant will look at the information at hand. Most likely a lot was collected already during the Sales cycle.

Together, we’ll run through the deliverables that are included in this Implementation and your consultant will answer any questions about the process. It’s important that there is a mutual understanding of what is required of each party.

Scope

Now we collect and confirm the information we need to get the system up and running. This is often intensive as we start discussing processes with the key stakeholders. More often than not scoping takes a number of meetings and follow ups before it’s finalized. 

This step is all about gathering information and context so we can set up Aconex in a way that is right for your project.

Build

Once you’ve approved the configuration, we’ll start building. At this point, you have a clear understanding of what you are getting. And if we need to change anything, we’ll make sure to get your approval beforehand.

This part is important to get right, and that's why planning and scoping is so important. It's much harder to make changes once you've gone live with your project.

Deploy

Aconex is now ready for use and we need to get the broader team onboard and up to speed. Your consultant will ensure access to training is provided.

There may be some user acceptance testing (UAT) – a way for us to confirm that the system is set up to meet your needs. This is an opportunity to make any final changes to the project setup before it's used.

Review

We’ll confirm with you that all deliverables agreed to at the start of the Implementation are complete. If not, this is when we tie up any lose ends. Once that's done, the implementation phase is finished.
