ASP, SaaS, On-demand or the “business web”?
At ASPstreet, an article – What do you call your ASP? – by Minda Zetlin usefully sums up some of the debate about terminology, and proposes a term that we may hear more of in the months ahead. Zetlin points out that the term ‘ASP’ became discredited in some people’s eyes by its much-hyped associations …

QS News covers NCCTP extranet research
QS News is the latest journal to publicise the NCCTP market research published last week (see 20 July post – Contract Journal wrote about it earlier this week); read "QSs back web portals" (strange that they chose to use the word ‘portals’ – not a word employed in the NCCTP news release at all).

Construction Computing 2006 (2)
The dates for the Construction Computing Show have been changed since my 6 June post. It is now being held on 22-23 November, still at London’s Barbican Centre, two weeks later than originally scheduled (no mention of the Bentley user group event, so perhaps they are now avoiding each other). The email I received also …

The UK ‘project extranet’ vendors’ association, the Network of Construction Collaboration Technology Providers (NCCTP) has today published its market research report, Proving Collaboration Pays.

Collaborate to avoid disputes, says BuildOnline
According to a 5 July news item on BuildingTalk, "18 per cent of projects result in serious disputes, which can delay projects and destroy client/contractor relations."
