Case Study: Connect Plus cuts a 30-step process to 7 with Oracle Aconex

Connect Plus Cuts a 30 Step Process Down to 7 Steps, Saving 48 Person Hours per Month

Connect Plus, the consortium responsible for maintaining London’s M25 Orbital Motorway, needed a better way to manage communication, document control, community forum updates, and contract administration across multiple organizations over a 30-year public project. Oracle Construction and Engineering, using Oracle Aconex, helped them address these challenges with a single, secure, cloud-based platform for collaboration and version control.

Oracle Construction and Engineering implemented configurable Aconex workflows to streamline processes from design through operations, improve correspondence and contract management, and speed information sharing across project teams. The results were significant: a 30-step correspondence process was reduced to 7 steps, saving 48 person hours per month, Community Forum administration dropped from 40% of a full-time role to 10%, and key approvals and contract processes became faster and easier, with some reviews taking only about 5 minutes.
