Case Study: Colorado Department of Transportation achieves 50-70% faster CORA responses with Oracle Aconex

50-70% faster to respond to Colorado Open Records Act (CORA) requests

The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and its affiliate High Performance Transportation Enterprise (HPTE) oversee multiple major highway projects—like the US 36 Express Lanes, I‑25 North, I‑70 East and C‑470—including the large Central 70 concession. They faced a state mandate for systematic records management and struggled with enterprise file‑sharing tools that couldn’t handle large engineering documents, complex cross‑organization review cycles, active‑highway project constraints, and the need to maintain an accessible 30‑year operations record.

CDOT implemented Oracle Aconex as a project‑wide, industry‑specific information management platform to provide transparency and configurable workflows. The solution made CORA responses 50–70% faster (hours instead of days), cut RFI review time by ~20%, eliminated 1–2 FTEs previously tracking documents, sped cross‑organization communication by ~15%, and made document search about 60% faster—creating a complete, accessible project record and reducing errors and delays.
