After last month’s Hewlett Packard event in Copenhagen which saw the launch of its ePrint & Share ‘cloud’ service (post), I have been watching out for further announcements. The latest concerns a new video about an Autodesk plug-in for HP ePrint & Share (the plug-in was demonstrated at HP’s event). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ya3ZzgSEQJY It’s a polished presentation, …

A first look at EADOC
I recently did a GoToMeeting session with Eric Law of EADOC to get a clearer understanding of this US-based Software-as-a-Service construction collaboration platform.

CAD in the cloud – needs selling on the ground
Software-as-a-Service approaches to design in the AEC market can learn a lot from how SaaS has been deployed to provide construction collaborative platforms since the late 1990s, but the marketing challenges still tend to require more than just an online presence.

Former Constructware executives Scott Unger and Brian Moore are half-way towards their $1.5m equity funding target for a new business, Integrated Lifecycle Solutions – perhaps another sign that the US market for construction collaboration technologies is increasingly buoyant.

Project Bluestreak and the ‘collaboration kernel’
I wrote about Autodesk’s experimental BIM collaboration environment, Project Bluestreak, last November, being interested in both its promise of accelerated building information modelling (BIM) and its deployment of Web 2.0 tools to help speed up the application’s development. On his StressFree blog, David Harrison has written a long and detailed paper, Bluestreak and the birth …

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. Maybe that speculation will be further dampened …
