ITCF 2006 conference (3)
Andrew Coombes at Eat Your CAD gives a delegate’s view of proceedings at last month’s ITCF conference. Pleased to see he rated the day sufficiently highly that he would "definitely" go again. Whether the same view would be shared by some of the NCCTP members is another matter. As the main sponsor bringing together several …

Deltek in UK
An appearance was made at Wednesday’s ITCF conference by a stand from US accounting and ERP software vendor Deltek. I was aware of the business from monitoring various US-based websites, but I hadn’t appreciated that they were also active on the eastern side of the Atlantic (they have a London office and one in Welwyn …

Ajax and CAD
A few months ago, I posted about Ajax (Extranets to embrace Ajax?, 2 December 2005 – Ajax stands for ‘Asynchronous JavaScript and XML’, by the way), wondering if it might form part of the interfaces of construction collaboration solutions.
