Case Study: Universite de Montreal achieves 85% faster design review response times with Oracle Aconex

Pomerleau-Verreault Speeds Design Review Request time by 85%

Oracle Aconex was deployed by Pomerleau–Verreault on the $390M Centre de Recherche at the Université de Montréal (CRCHUM), a complex public‑private research and healthcare facility in Montréal. The project involved a team of hundreds from dozens of investors, government bodies, certification agencies and design/construction firms exchanging thousands of documents and correspondence under aggressive schedules, with high regulatory and compliance risk.

Using a single secure platform to manage documents, drawings and correspondence, Aconex automated review and approval workflows and provided a full audit trail. The solution sped design request responses from two months to 10 days (an 85% productivity gain), improved information quality and transparency across 150 core team members, avoided nearly US$1M in software customization, and reduced errors, rework and penalty exposure.
