The UK ‘project extranet’ vendors’ association, the Network of Construction Collaboration Technology Providers (NCCTP) has today published its market research report, Proving Collaboration Pays. The research was undertaken by an independent market research consultancy, Benchmark Research, and is – to the best of my knowledge – the biggest ‘extranet’ user survey ever undertaken, certainly as …

Aberdeen Group PLM collaboration report
I am sure construction collaboration technology providers can be encouraged by, among others, the experiences of product lifecycle management technology users. Research undertaken by the Aberdeen Group, reported in this AECnewsroom.com article, suggests several best practices – organizational structures, processes, and technologies – that differentiate best in class companies and deliver competitive advantage. According to …

Gates goes – at the right time
The newspapers and internet news sources (the BBC, for example) have been full of comment about Bill Gates’ decision to step down from the helm at Microsoft over the next couple of years. Comments about it being "the end of an era" are probably quite appropriate, and Gates’ timing is impeccable. Gates was the architect …

Members of the NCCTP marketing group today had their first presentation from independent market research agency Benchmark regarding the NCCTP survey of over 250 users of the leading UK construction collaboration technology solutions (aka ‘extranets’).

Asite CEO change
Less than six months ago, in Asite CEO goes permanent, I noted that Asite‘s Gordon Ashworth had been appointed CEO instead of acting CEO. It seems this move wasn’t particularly "permanent", as last week (see Asite announcement or Stock Exchange notice) Ashworth stepped down to be replaced by former sales director and then chief operating …

FMI/CMAA survey
Keeping an eye on US developments, I see AECcafe.com talks of the results of a forthcoming survey to be announced at a conference in November. Thinking this sounded interesting, I Googled the survey and found it can be read at http://cmaanet.org/user_images/sixth_owners_survey.pdf. When talking about project collaboration, it says: "Only 45% [of owners] had their own …

Changes at BuildOnline? (4)
Another comment, this time to yesterday’s post about BuildOnline, says: "trying to get hold of anyone at BuildOnline is also very interesting. Call the general enquires number and you end up with someones voice mail! Does this mean a shake up of the reception as well?" I’m not sure if there’s been a revolution in …

Overcoming ‘Islands of information’
When comparing traditional project team-working and working using web-based collaboration platforms, a phrase I frequently use in presentations is "islands of information" (the same phrase I have just seen used on the Innovation Weblog). In the context of construction projects, I use the term to describe individuals and companies who, due to the predominantly paper-based …
