Case Study: IKEA achieves streamlined project collaboration and real-time document control with Oracle Aconex

Aconex powers IKEA China store projects

Oracle Aconex partnered with IKEA China to support store projects across major cities since IKEA’s entry into China in 1998. The program faced large-scale information challenges: tens of thousands of documents exchanged monthly with IKEA HQ in Sweden, consistent implementation of IKEA processes across multiple projects, the need for real-time access and sharing among distributed teams, and robust project-status tracking to manage risk.

Aconex provided a single, central collaboration platform to manage documents, drawings and correspondence across organizations, offering real-time access, distribution, tracking, archiving and a full audit trail. This delivered faster reviews and approvals, streamlined communications, higher team productivity, reduced paper usage and a positive environmental impact.
