Aconex provides a web-based platform for managing project information such as drawings, documents and correspondence. Through using the system, ContourGlobal and its project partners are expected to be able to view, track and share their files in real time, from any location and at any time, said Aconex.
Bill Fox, senior vice president of engineering and construction at ContourGlobal, said: Each of our projects generates thousands of documents which must be exchanged between internal and external parties. Because team members are often geographically dispersed, we needed a central system that could securely manage our documentation while ensuring it was still easily accessible to project participants. Aconex offered the best system for our needs as well as extensive expertise in delivering its service to complex, multinational-based projects.
Leigh Jasper, CEO of Aconex, said: The success of firms such as ContourGlobal with cross-border projects is based upon the real-time management and integration of multiple communication and information streams. Aconex will help ContourGlobal to organize and optimize this information by providing a secure, electronic archive of all project data and a verifiable history of every transaction.
