I wrote last month about US construction collaboration vendor e-Builder and its impending major announcement. I waited well into July to see what this would be, but nothing appeared on the e-Builder website until just over a week ago when a release finally appeared, backdated to 29 June. e-Builder announced “the launch of e-Builder Enterprise 6.0, …

Emap Construct titles to move?
Like some of my counterparts at rival UK construction collaboration vendors, I have enjoyed working with one-time marketing director (now strategy and development director) Ross Sturley and his colleagues at Emap Construct, publisher of trade papers Construction News, New Civil Engineer and Architects’ Journal (among others) and past organiser of ‘project extranet’ conferences. I was …

From SaaS to PaaS
Courtesy of Computer Business Review Online (also ASPnews.com), I read that on-demand vendor Salesforce.com‘s latest release will see its business platform evolve from software-as-a-service to platform-as-a-service, a step that will apparently “antagonize and incentivize big league players Microsoft, SAP, and Oracle”. ASPnews.com also reports – see Software Plus Services Spurs Rapid Growth at Microsoft – that Microsoft is …

Engineering and environmental consultancy Wardell Armstrong LLP has become the latest to select Asite Workspace, using the tool for …

Construction Computing Show 2007
The Construction Computing Show 2007 in November will be co-located at the Emirates Stadium, London with Building Computing 2007, an event targeted at “architects and building professionals planning and designing buildings, new and refurbished, with a view to [their] operating IT requirements”.

FIATECH and COMIT to collaborate, but don’t forget the others…
At a Harvard University conference in Boston last year, I briefly met Ric Jackson of FIATECH and talked about the NCCTP’s efforts to develop a data exchange standard that would allow data to be transferred between different construction collaboration (‘extranet’) platforms. From a Cadalyst article, I see FIATECH has recently signed a memorandum of understanding with UK-based group …

Workspace + Workspace
According to a news release on Asite‘s website, the company has secured a customer for its entry-level solution, Asite Workspace. REID Architecture, who recently merged with 3D to become 3DReid “chose Asite Workspace to collaborate with its supply chain at the early stages of the Gibraltar’s new air terminal project”. This will presumably be the same REID architecture …

According to a news release on BuildingTalk.com, Union Square Software has launched a Seven Step Guide to email compliance for the construction industry.

Union Square argues, with some …
