Case Study: Valley Metro achieves savings of up to 6,000 hours on submittal processing with Oracle Aconex

Valley Metro Saves up to 6,000 Hours on Submittal Processing

Valley Metro, the growing public transportation agency serving the greater Phoenix area, needed to standardize on modern, industry-specific technology to maintain quality during rapid expansion. Facing multiple simultaneous projects, limited transparency across municipalities, and legacy systems that required heavy IT customization and prevented real-time collaboration with external partners, the agency sought a scalable, cloud-based solution.

By implementing an enterprise-wide, cloud platform with partner-led process design, training, and support, Valley Metro centralized information, standardized workflows, and reduced paper distribution. The results include flexible scalability, virtual elimination of hard-copy package distribution (saving an estimated $200K on an 18-mile extension), 4,500–6,000 hours saved per project on submittal processing, 4–5 days saved per design review, and RFI cycles shortened by 4–8 hours.
