Aconex, a global leader of digital innovation in construction, said leading UAE contractor Alec has agreed to standardise on Aconex solutions for managing information and processes across all of its projects.

Alec, which began operations in 1999, has now grown to become one of the leading construction companies in the Middle East, with over 11,200 employees.

As the preferred contractor on a number of major capital projects, Alec has an extensive list of developments including resort hotels, themed retail complexes, high-rise towers, airport terminals, and commercial buildings throughout the UAE, Qatar and Oman, said a top official.

"The real challenge on any large project is ensuring all the players communicate and work together
effectively - so that everyone succeeds at the end of the day," remarked Alec chief executive Kez Taylor.

"Commitment to excellence in collaboration is therefore critical, as you’re only as strong as your weakest link. Excellence is achieved by people, partners and processes, and is facilitated by the use of best-in-class collaboration tools like Aconex," he stated.

"We value the contribution of Aconex in supporting our goals, and we look forward to a long-term partnership," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
