Bentley Unveils ProjectWise StartPoint

Will the latest news from Bentley see that number …

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. Last week, courtesy of AECnews.com, I read an article, Ajax comes to CAD, which describes an …

It has announced that its technology partner, Adenium Systems, has developed a document management and fulfillment product that integrates with Meridian’s Prolog software: "Adenium’s Document Fulfillment System (DFS) enables scanning and indexing of a high volume of drawings, plans and other project documents, …

“Plotting Workflow in the AEC industry”
Thanks to my latest CADwire Insights Weekly, I was pointed to a recently published white paper from Cyon Research (free to download) on managing reprographics in construction projects, with a particular focus on a solution from Océ (Océ Repro Desk Professional).

e-Builder CEO interviewed at AECCafe.com
AECCafe.com features an interview by Susan Smith with Jon Antevy, CEO of US collaboration provider e-Builder.com, partly hooked by e-Builder’s recent moves to support Blackberry users (see 10 April post).
