Case Study: Graham achieves 95% reduction in workflow approval time with Oracle Aconex

Graham cuts workflow approval time by 95% on Kelowna General Hospital

GRAHAM delivered the Kelowna General Hospital expansion, a US$252 million, 394,000‑square‑foot PPP healthcare project in Kelowna, BC, that involved many stakeholders, strict PPP information‑management rules and thousands of documents, drawings and correspondence to manage across 90 companies. The complex, high‑visibility project required ready information sharing, transparency and accountability among hundreds of project participants.

Using Oracle Aconex as a single, secure collaboration platform with automated workflows and a permanent audit trail, the team processed 585,000 documents and 4,500 drawings and streamlined communication for 700 users. The solution cut review and approval time from eight hours to ten minutes (≈95% reduction), saved about 32,900 administrative hours, sped tendering by six days per bid package, accelerated project start‑up by weeks and reduced printing costs by 80%.
