Revisiting the NEC battleground
About six weeks ago, I noted (NEC3 Licensed Content partners announced) how quick off the mark construction collaboration technology vendor 4Projects was to announce its new role as an NEC3 Licensed Content Partner, which it followed by a concerted campaign on Twitter, LinkedIn and its blog (indeed, 4Projects has nominated its PR campaign for a …

okitoo: real-time, mobile AEC collaboration lost in translation
Another service that I found after they followed me on Twitter is Okitoo. While it looks to be an interesting Software-as-a-Service mobile application for AEC professionals (developed by a France-based software developer Ideoserve SAS), it has been let down by poor marketing so far as the English-speaking world is concerned. The home page shows an …

NEC3 Licensed Content partners announced
Two UK-based SaaS collaboration vendors have been officially licensed by NEC to deliver NEC3 construction contract information. By coincidence on the same day that I wrote about contrasting approaches to NEC construction contract management (post), it has been announced that two UK construction collaboration technology providers have been appointed as NEC3 Licensed Content Partners by …

Sypro Management
Formed in 2007, Sypro is another SaaS player targeting the construction contract management market. Sometimes even just the simple step of following someone on Twitter can bring you some attention. Recently, I got a new follower using the Twitter handle @SyproNEC, representing Sypro Management Ltd, an East Yorkshire, UK-based company specialising in web-based collaboration software …

Yesterday, the Institution of Civil Engineers, with the Advanced Institute of Management, hosted an event, “Engineering Management in a Digital Economy” in London which, despite the wintry weather and the associated transport difficulties, still drew around 40 people from both industry and academia. They assembled to discuss issues such as …

Five things that no ‘collaboration’ vendor gets completely right
17 February 2011
Following a conversation that started via Twitter, I asked an experienced document controller to write a guest blog post about her top five wish-list for construction collaboration technologies. It seems none of the existing vendors get it right on every point…. I am a document controller with around nine years’ experience and have used most …
