Viewpoint UK website September 2015

As forewarned at the 4Projects user conference in May 2015, after some 15 years, the 4Projects brandname is being retired by its US owners, Viewpoint Construction Software.

Talking through the 4Projects changes

Steve Spark

Steve Spark is keen to get the 4Projects MD role permanently, and has some of the key credentials Viewpoint is looking for.

Bye-bye, BIW. Hello, conject

I visited the Woking office of SaaS construction collaboration technology vendor BIW Technologies recently and there was a very tangible sign (literally! – right) of an impending change. As anticipated 15 months ago when Munich, Germany-based conject acquired BIW, the UK business is – like previous conject acquisitions – being rebranded as conject. The process actually …

Maybe it’s a sign of things to come or just a one-off, but I received an email from UK SaaS construction collaboration technology provider BIW Technologies this morning (about a sustainability survey) which had a slightly amended BIW logo at the top. The email had been distributed via parent company Conject’s email engine, and the …

Workspace confusion

One consequence of BT’s launch of BT Workspace (previous post) could be the potential for some confusion in the UK construction marketplace with other products and services called Workspace. Union Square, for example, has long had an intranet product (with extranet capabilities) called Workspace, and Asite has been talking about launching its second product with the same name for …

CTSpace dissected further

Following on from yesterday’s post (CTSpace dissected), the Citadon/BuildOnline merger to form CTSpace has continued to occupy my thoughts. In today’s post, I point out that the merger marks yet another consolidation of the extranet space since the start of the 21st century, have a quick look at what the combined business is offering post-merger, discuss …
