Aconex Limited (ASX: ACX) is a listed public Australian company providing mobile and web-based collaboration technologies for project information and process management (also sometimes described as project management or project extranet systems), on a software as a service (SaaS) basis, to clients in the construction, infrastructure, power, mining, and oil and gas sectors. With more than 50,000 user organizations globally, Aconex provides the most widely used cloud-based, multi-company project collaboration solutions for construction and engineering. ==History== Aconex was founded in 2000 by Leigh Jasper and Robert Phillpot to offer construction collaboration and procurement management services (its name is a concatenation of Australian Construction Exchange).〔Wilkinson, P. (2005) ''Construction Collaboration Technologies: The Extranet Evolution'' Taylor & Francis, London.〕 However, due to low market interest in web-based procurement, it focused on expanding its online collaboration services, growing domestic revenue rapidly during the first half of the 2000s. By late 2004, Aconex had established a presence in the UK market,〔 and was expanding into other regions including southeast Asia and the Middle East. Its overseas activity helped it win the 'Emerging Exporter' award in the 2006 Australian Export Awards.〔2006 Australian Export Awards National Winners http://www.exportawards.gov.au/Australian-Export-Awards-Winners-2006/default.aspx〕 In September 2008, Aconex secured an A$107.5m private equity investment from US-based technology investor Francisco Partners.〔"Aconex lands private equity deal", ''The Age'', 22 September 2008, http://www.theage.com.au/business/aconex-lands-private-equity-deal-20080921-4l2d.html〕〔"Aconex gears for expansion after $107.5 million injection", Andrew Colley, ''Australian IT'', 22 September 2008, http://www.theaustralian.com.au/australian-it-old/aconex-secures-1075-million-injection/story-e6frgamo-1111117553725〕 It has since established a substantial presence in North America. By 2014, Aconex had served construction and engineering projects with an aggregate value of more than A$800 billion, across all major geographic markets, from more than 40 offices worldwide.〔''Construction IT (Finally) Completes the 'Tower of Babel': Interview with Aconex CEO Leigh Jasper'',http://www.huffingtonpost.com/james-grundvig/construction-it-finally-c_b_2852548.html/〕 The company completed its initial public offering (IPO) of ordinary shares on December 9, 2014 and is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) under the ticker code ACX.〔Australian Securities Exchange website http://www.asx.com.au〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aconex」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
