Oracle Accessibility Conformance Report

VPAT® Version 2.3 - April 2019

Name of Product:

Oracle Aconex for Android 21.6

Product Description:

Oracle Aconex mobile application provides issue and inspection management for quality assurance/control, safety on construction sites, as well as the ability to view project drawings and pin issues to drawings. This application helps overcome the challenges of paper-based drawing and inspection management, and scattered and incomplete project data.

Oracle Aconex simplifies building information modeling by connecting teams, models and project data on a single online collaboration platform. Access the BIM information you need for your construction and engineering projects, from wherever you are, from your mobile device.

Oracle Aconex provides collaborative project delivery, including design & construction coordination, field management, and project controls. Asset owners and project leaders rely on Oracle Construction and Engineering software for the visibility and control, connected supply chain, and data security needed to drive performance and mitigate risk, helping teams plan, build, and operate critical assets.
