ProjectWise vs Oracle Aconex

Put any two products side by side: specification, the six criteria and the EPC Index needle.

FIG. 025

ProjectWise

Bentley Systems · Document Control & CDE

02040608010081EPC INDEX

The strongest option for managing engineering work in progress across large design teams, complementing an owner-side CDE.

FIG. 065

Oracle Aconex

Oracle · Document Control & CDE

02040608010084EPC INDEX

The neutral, owner-trusted CDE for mega-projects, where each party keeps ownership of its data. A safe default when many organisations must share one record.
