Software as a Service

The advantages of SaaS are widely recognized

It's only natural that you'll want to compare a hosted or Software as a Service (SaaS) delivered solution (such as Aconex) with the alternative of installed software.

We’ve done the research for you. The SaaS model provides a flexible solution that can help you lower costs and risk exposure and get started quickly on your project anywhere in the world.

SaaS saves you money

• All you need is a web browser - there's no need to install software
• There is no limit on user numbers, and no license fee per user
• You get access to our vast data storage - it's not restricted by your hardware

SaaS reduces risk

• Full security and data back-up - no need to set up your own systems
• Complete uptime Service Level Agreement (SLA) guarantee - we take on the risk for you

SaaS gets you up and running fast

• Implementation within days - no waiting for software to be installed
• Unlimited training - we don't even have per user or per class costs!

SaaS means you don't need IT skills or resources

• Easy to use - if you can use a web browser, you can use Aconex
• Updates are managed by us - forget about downloading patches
• We maintain the system - no need for staff to support internal system maintenance

SaaS helps with user acceptance and uptake

• High uptake is the norm
• We contact, train and encourage other project participants for you
• Aconex is a neutral provider - the data isn't behind a firewall of one of the project companies
