For a few idle minutes on Friday, I started contemplating a move to California –Australia-based construction collaboration technology vendor Aconex had just advertised an attractive sales and marketing role based in San Francisco (see LinkedIn jobs). Reality then kicked in (I have a business, wife and kids in the UK), but for the right person, …

4Projects revenues down but profits up
Just over a year ago, I spent a couple of hours talking to Steve Nelson, the then Chief Financial Officer of Sunderland, UK-based SaaS construction collaboration technology vendor 4Projects (see 4Projects and Profitability). In recent months, there has been some change in the 4Projects boardroom, with Steve moving into a non-executive role and Chris Baty …

okitoo: real-time, mobile AEC collaboration lost in translation
Another service that I found after they followed me on Twitter is Okitoo. While it looks to be an interesting Software-as-a-Service mobile application for AEC professionals (developed by a France-based software developer Ideoserve SAS), it has been let down by poor marketing so far as the English-speaking world is concerned.

Asite does enterprise deal with Canary Wharf Contractors
Asite seeks to differentiate its collaboration offering through its own definition of ‘pure SaaS’. According to a news release earlier this week, London-based construction collaboration vendor Asite has signed a five-year enterprise deal to provide its SaaS platform to support Canary Wharf Contractors’ projects.

Should we be teaching document control or collaboration?
Aconex is delivering document control training, but the technology aspect of collaboration is only occasionally covered. As a PR and marketing professional in the construction IT sector, I keep my eyes open for new ways in which businesses are promoting themselves or their products or services. A good example landed in my email inbox recently, …

HP and Autodesk collaboration – ignores Autodesk’s collaboration products
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, …

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. CAD in the cloud Thanks, once again, to Roopinder Tara’s, CAD CAM CAE TenLinks …
