Some thoughts on the Be2Award for AEC collaboration

As also noted, one of the categories …

Revisiting the NEC battleground
About six weeks ago, I noted (NEC3 Licensed Content partners announced) how quick off the mark construction collaboration technology vendor 4Projects was to announce its new role as an NEC3 Licensed Content Partner, which it followed by a concerted campaign on Twitter, LinkedIn and its blog (indeed, 4Projects has nominated its PR campaign for a …

PR: Protecting reputation
Online, businesses need to respond promptly and professionally if they are being misrepresented More than once when I was heading PR at BIW Technologies, I had to assert the company’s position in the face of misleading claims by competitors, but the process was sometimes very slow. We were reacting to printed claims in trade magazines, …

Two UK-based SaaS collaboration vendors have been officially licensed by NEC to deliver NEC3 construction contract information.

Five things that no ‘collaboration’ vendor gets completely right
17 February 2011
Following a conversation that started via Twitter, I asked an experienced document controller to write a guest blog post about her top five wish-list for construction collaboration technologies. It seems none of the existing vendors get it right on every point…. I am a document controller with around nine years’ experience and have used most …
