    Aconex Web Services

    APIs
    Managing project information can sometimes involve multiple applications
    and platforms. Until now, these systems couldn’t easily “talk” to Aconex,
    creating a barrier to efficient information flow. But what if you could connect
    everything, reducing risk, and improving efficiency to maximize your financial
    return? And what if you could do even more with the project data that is
    captured and managed on Aconex? Web Services APIs make this possible.

    Applications
    Extract and archive project information, in real time or in batches, for
    archiving, data mining or reporting.

    Integrate with other software applications to allow your information to flow automatically
    between Aconex and your EDMS, internal mail system or other business software.

    Benefits
    Your risk is reduced. Synchronizing information between Aconex and your other systems
    will help ensure consistency and data quality, can reduce errors related to manual
    processing, and may help satisfy regulatory requirements.

    Your efficiency is increased. Eliminating the delays and cost of double data entry will
    improve the efficient capture of project data in your enterprise systems.

    You drive more value from your investment. Using Aconex to automate distribution of
    information to your other systems allows you to leverage the value of that information right
    across your business.

    Technology overview
    The Aconex Web Services APIs are based on standards including Extensible Markup Language
    (XML) for representing data and Representational State Transfer (REST) for data exchange.
    This architecture allows ready integration with .NET, Java and other programming languages
    that can exchange data using HTTPS. Access to the Web Services APIs is secure and requires
    user authentication to specific projects on the Aconex platform, and can be managed at a user
    level. The API authentication model is stateless, and all security checks applicable to the user
    interface also apply to the APIs. All transactions are conducted over HTTPS.
