Case Study: Panama Canal achieves secure, real-time global project collaboration with Oracle Aconex

Panama Canal megaproject flows with Aconex

The Panama Canal Third Set of Locks was a landmark engineering megaproject (part of a $5.25 billion expansion) involving international contractors and thousands of monthly document exchanges across dispersed teams. With strict stakeholder compliance, complex collaboration needs, high risk of delays and disputes, and a requirement to integrate project information with enterprise systems, the program needed a secure, scalable way to manage and track project information.

Oracle Aconex provided a neutral, cloud‑based collaboration platform giving real‑time access, distribution and tracking of all documents and correspondence regardless of location, with multi‑language support and unlimited local training. The solution saw broad adoption across the project, ensured information was accessible, accurate and secure, reduced printing and distribution costs, and offered the scalability and flexibility to support participants’ records‑management and integration needs.
