Suvendu, commenting on my first SaaS and construction collaboration in 2008 predictions post, asks “do you have an idea about the market size of SaaS for Construction industry?” I suppose the answer to the question depends upon how you define the market and then how you measure it…. So, sorry if this is quite a long answer…. …

SaaS and construction collaboration in 2008
After Reviewing 2007, I started thinking about some predictions or trends for 2008. My first instinct was simply to repeat last year’s five, but that would be too easy. Instead, I have decided to update two, and add three new ones. Here are the first two (the others will follow over the next couple of days). …

4Ps confusion
Within the UK construction collaboration technology market, vendor 4Projects is sometimes abbreviated to 4Ps (‘four peas’). The latest news release on the 4Projects’ website therefore initially confused me, as it concerns a partnership with another business known as … 4ps (a local government project delivery specialist, apparently).

2008: SaaS will soar, SaaS will surge
SaaS Bloggers’ 2008 predictions have started to emerge. Jeff Kaplan has written his Top Ten Reasons Why On-Demand Services Will Soar in 2008, quickly followed by Phil Wainewright‘s Eight reasons why SaaS will surge in 2008, and the picture is very positive. Despite forecasts of a recession, both Jeff and Phil suggest economic factors will favour SaaS. Jeff writes: “… …

Reviewing 2007
Last year, I made five ‘Extranet Evolution’ 2007 predictions. Were they correct? 1. Growing acceptance and use of web-based collaboration tools within the UK construction industry It was something of a no-brainer. The continued revenue growth trends of the leading UK-based vendors shows there is a strong appetite for the applications. I was also encouraged by the …

More website woes
I talked last month about the problems of websites suddenly becoming unavailable. After BIW, 4Projects and ePIN, the latest UK collaboration vendor to suffer a website outage is Sarcophagus. [Update (27 November): Site back live again.]

No-Show Day Two
If anything, day two of the Construction Computing 2007 show was worse than day one. Thankfully, the day was shorter – 10am to 3pm – but several exhibitors voted with their feet long before the end. Indeed, my BIW colleague and I were packed up and ready to leave by 3pm, and we walked past …

The Great Construction Computing no-show
I stood on the BIW Technologies stand today, and I waited … and I waited…. And people on neighbouring stands waited … and waited…. Then we started muttering to each other….
