Case Study: Valley Metro saves 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 rapidly growing transit agency for the greater Phoenix area, needed to standardize on modern, industry-specific technology to maintain quality through expansion. Managing multiple simultaneous projects across municipalities, they struggled with legacy systems that required heavy customization and IT support and did not enable real-time collaboration or transparency.

By implementing Oracle Aconex as a cloud-based, secure platform with partner-led process, implementation, training and support, Valley Metro standardized workflows and created transparent, auditable project spaces. The solution is flexible and scalable, virtually eliminated hard-copy distribution (saving about $200K on a 1.8‑mile extension), and delivered major efficiency gains—saving 4,500–6,000 hours per project on submittal processing, cutting design reviews by 4–5 days, and reducing RFI cycles by 4–8 hours.
