In Is the Recession hurting AEC IT? last month, I said I would keep an eye on the financial results of some of the key players in the AEC market. Last week, Autodesk announced its results for the last quarter of 2008: revenues down 18% from the previous year (spread across every operating region; EMEA …

Cadalyst saved
Some good news from the publishing world. Further to last week’s post, Testing times for AEC IT magazines, I read in WorldCAD Access and CAD Insider that Cadalyst is now going to be published by a company called Longitude Media, run by Questex’s former Vice-President of Digital Media and General Manager, Design & Engineering Group, …

Testing times for AEC IT magazines?
I spoke at last week’s CIMCIG conference on marketing in the recession. Another speaker, Andy Cassie of CIB Communications, made a few predictions about the construction marketing environment, including a suggestion that one major construction title and one architecture title might disappear (I Twittered about this at the time and it apparently prompted some concern …

Let’s make construction more ‘social’
[This is a re-post of a blog article I wrote for Building Sustainable Design, which launched this week.] I have spent more than half my career in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) and property industry looking at issues relating to collaboration, and since 2000 have been focused on how to use internet-based technologies to …

Building Sustainable Design
The first issue of Building Sustainable Design is now out, accompanied by a website, blog, multiple RSS feeds, Twitterfeed, and other features we have grown to associate with publications in the UBM (Building magazine) stable (I liked the short video welcome from editor Andy Pearson – a nice touch). Aimed at readers in the low-energy …

Tackling ‘the interweb thingy’
Over the weekend, I enjoyed reading a BBC Business article by Tim Weber from last week’s economic summit in Davos. In How companies tackle the interweb thingy, he points out that while every company worth its salt has a website, many “are still struggling to move beyond having a colourful website towards really using the …

RICSe-tendering.com hardly used – not ‘baffling’
Building today reports that the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors‘ e-tendering system has been used only 50 times in the 15 months since its launch. The institution is said to be ‘baffled’; its executive director Joe Martin remarks: “never underestimate the power of inertia.” Drivers Jonas partner Mike Cuthbert is scornful of the RICS becoming …

Media and Web 2.0, Tweet and print
In the media world, the overlap between conventional print publications and internet-based communications continues to grow. This doesn’t just mean that broadcasters or publications have a website; an increasing number are now adopting Web 2.0 tools and techniques – blogs, discussion forums, RSS feeds, Twitter, bookmarks, networks, etc – to find new levels of engagement …
