Case Study: Connect Plus streamlines contract workflows, cutting steps from 30 to 7 and saving 48 person‑hours/month with Oracle Aconex

Connect Plus cuts a 30 step process down to 7 steps, saving 48 person hours per month

Connect Plus, a consortium charged with maintaining London’s M25 orbital motorway for 30 years, faced complex cross-organization collaboration challenges across Balfour Beatty and Egis partners. The team struggled to keep a Community Forum current, manage design handovers and correspondence, and administer ongoing NEC contracts efficiently across multiple organisations and stakeholders.

By implementing Oracle Aconex as a single, cloud-based, neutral platform with configurable workflows, Connect Plus created one up‑to‑date source of truth and streamlined processes across project teams. This cut a 30‑step correspondence process to 7 steps (saving 48 person-hours per month), reduced Community Forum effort from 40% to 10% of a full‑time role, sped document access and sign‑offs, reduced review times to about five minutes for some submissions, and freed staff to focus on higher‑value work and automation.
