Construction contractor ALEC will adopt Aconex solutions for managing information and processes across all of its projects.
The pair have a history of successful collaboration over many projects, beginning with the Shangri-La Qaryat Al Beri luxury hotel, apartments and villas in Abu Dhabi, completed in 2007.
More recently ALEC used Aconex solutions during the construction of new concourses at Dubai International Airport (DBX).
Maisam Zaidi, head of IT at ALEC, said the innovative use of technology is key to the firm’s strategy for growth and market leadership throughout the Middle East.
“Our objective is to be the leading construction company in all of the areas in which we operate,” said Zaidi. “To accomplish that, we need to be a leader in every aspect of our own operations. Technology plays a key role in the automation and standardisation of processes across our entire project portfolio.
Adopting Aconex – a secure, neutral, cloud-based enterprise solution – is an important part of our global strategy, driving change not just within ALEC, but across the entire construction and engineering industry.”
Henry Jones, senior vice president, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and global accounts at Aconex, said: “This enterprise agreement reflects the strength of our business with ALEC and its project partners over many years.
We are pleased to cement our relationship with a tier-one contractor that is driving innovation across its operations to successfully deliver complex and demanding construction projects.”
