Case Study: Zilkha Biomass Energy achieves streamlined, centralized collaboration, reduced risk, and on-time document approvals with Oracle Aconex

Aconex fuels efficiency for construction of renewable energy plant

Zilkha Biomass Energy is building the world’s first full-scale commercial black pellet fuel plant in Selma, Alabama, with a capacity of 275,000 metric tons per year. The project involved a multi-company team—up to 20 organizations—reviewing, updating and approving documents, creating risks that information would be hard to find or incomplete and that schedule tracking could slip.

Oracle Aconex provided a secure, neutral collaboration platform as a single source of truth, managing complex information exchanges and enforcing version control. The project was set up in two weeks, centralized data and workflows saved time, improved accuracy and reduced risk, documents are reviewed and approved on schedule, and a permanent audit trail adds transparency and accountability.
