DUBAI, 2 September 2009: International project management firm Thinc Projects has selected to use the Aconex online collaboration system across its entire project portfolio.

Thinc Projects manages a wide range of construction developments, including residential, tourism, infrastructure and defence projects in Middle East, Europe Asia and Australasia. Using Aconex, a web-based system for managing project information such as documents and correspondence, will enable the company to control the large volumes of information generated on its projects and to communicate more efficiently with its project partners.

Since 2001, Thinc Projects has used Aconex on more than 180 projects worldwide, from small refurbishments to billion-dollar transport developments. Peter Galvin, Managing Director of Thinc Projects, said: "Our projects range in size and complexity and so we require a scalable and robust system to manage our project information. Aconex provides us with a central repository for all our drawings, documents and mail items, so that regardless of where our project is located or who is involved, our data is securely stored in one place."

Leigh Jasper, Aconex Chief Executive Officer, added: "Particularly in the current climate, technology that increases efficiency and control is extremely valuable. By using Aconex, Thinc and its project partners are able to access, distribute and track their files in real-time, using a single platform. This delivers real value by improving productivity and minimising exposure to information-related risks."

Aconex, www.aconex.com, is the world's largest provider of online collaboration to the construction and engineering industries and the market leader in the Middle East. The company services US$210 billion worth of projects across 65 countries, including the $40 billion Yas Island development in Abu Dhabi, Dubai Metro, The Lagoons and Reef Island Bahrain.
