Aconex Selected for Philippines Casino-Resort Mega Project
Aconex will provide its online collaboration platform to the Entertainment City Manila Project in the Philippines. The web-based system will support successful project delivery by linking organizations and managing information during construction.

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, February 01, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Aconex, the world's largest provider of online collaboration solutions to the construction and engineering industries, has been selected to service the Entertainment City Manila Project inside PagCor City. The web-based Aconex system will be used to link organizations and manage information across the project.

The project, being delivered by Bloomberry Resorts and Hotels Inc., will feature an integrated five-star hotel and casino. The hotel will feature world-class leisure facilities and restaurants.

During the project's design and construction phases, it's anticipated that hundreds of thousands of drawings, documents and correspondence items will need to be exchanged between a globally-dispersed team. Aconex will enable the project team to access, distribute, track and archive their information in real time, using one central system.

Marc Dominique Palaroan from Bloomberry Resorts and Hotels Inc., said: "Entertainment City Manila will help propel the Philippines into being a key player in Asia's tourism, hospitality and entertainment market. To deliver such a complex, multi-faceted development, we require the best tools and processes.

"At an early stage, we identified that tools such as FTP sites and email would not be sufficient for a project of this scale. With its custom-built functionality for the construction industry, Aconex will enable us to effectively manage a vast flow of information."

Mr. Andy Lake, Aconex General Manager Asia, said: "By servicing a number of major casino-resort projects across Asia - including the multi-billion dollar Venetian Macau and Marina Bay Sands Singapore developments - we have developed a wealth of expertise in how to manage their project communication and documentation requirements.

"By using Aconex, project members will save time by having fast access to information; drawing review cycles will be accelerated; and large files can be distributed in real time. This, combined with the ability to track every transaction, will help reduce the risk of disputes and delays."

Aconex, www.aconex.com, is the world's most widely-used collaboration platform on construction, infrastructure, energy and resources projects, servicing US$260 billion worth of projects in 70 countries.

Pagcor (Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp.) City is a multibillion-dollar government project that covers prime reclaimed land at the western portion of the Manila Bay in Parañaque. In addition to attracting local and foreign visitors, the complex is expected to generate jobs and boost the country's ancillary service sectors.
