Asite Autumn 09 release
UK construction collaboration vendor Asite has issued its Autumn 09 Release, says a website notice dated 6 November 2009.

The Virtual Earth portlet supports 3D visualisation, meaning users can render their …

What attracted me to this news story was that 10-strong Leighton Group subsidiary WorkCast is headed by Gerard Callaghan, ex-sales director at construction …

Recession hits Aconex order book, it sheds staff, but still grows
Australia-based Software-as-a-Service construction collaboration technology vendor Aconex has just signed off its accounts for the year ending 30 June 2009, and they show another year of growth, albeit slower than in previous years (see Aconex reports…, 2008, and Aconex results hit by legal row, 2007).

New look for Sarcophagus
It has a new logo (left), the main website of Yorkshire, UK-based technology vendor Sarcophagus has recently been revamped, and the company has also started (very occasionally) using Twitter.

Constructware update
In May this year there was some online speculation about Autodesk‘s continued enthusiasm for its Constructware Software-as-a-service platform (see posts here and here) prompting hasty denials from Rick Rundall pointing out that they would hardly be ending development of the product if they’d just released a new version.
