Construction collaboration vendor news round-up – June 2012

Cadweb launches new website

Founded in 1995, London-based Cadweb still positions itself as the longest-established provider of project extranet services in the UK. It has just launched a new website – mainly a new ‘look and feel’, as most of the written content has hardly changed – while its latest June news release concerns a Diabetes Centre project for Imperial College in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates.

Conject appoints new CTO

The Munich-based construction collaboration technology business conject has announced the appointment of a new chief technology officer (CTO). Andrew Wainwright, formerly of Imaginatik plc (a SaaS business that developed its own collaborative platform for innovation), and before that at IBM, will take responsibility for technical strategy, product development and infrastructure on conject’s executive board.

conject CEO Colin Smith said:

“We are delighted Andrew has chosen to join conject. An innovative and strategic thinking IT professional, he has extensive technical knowledge and exactly the experience we need to refine our strategic direction and contribute to the growth of the conject group.”

[Disclosure: I have provided PR and marketing consultancy services to conject, formerly BIW Technologies.]
