Putting the social into AEC development

22 June 2009

I have been following posts on a blog hosted by PTC, a vendor of product development technology solutions to ‘discrete manufacturers’. Its product lifecycle management (PLM) applications are widely used in the industrial, high-tech, aerospace and defence, automotive, consumer and medical device sectors. OK, not my usual industry interests, but useful nonetheless as the blog …

Gloomy times for SaaS collaboration vendors

By Paul Wilkinson in AEC, Blogs, Business/Financial, Collaboration, Future, Marketing, People issues, Web 2.0
5 June 2009

Today I have been hearing about redundancies among staff at one of the UK’s leading construction collaboration vendors. This news comes as no surprise. The writing has been on the wall for all the collaboration vendors since the credit crunch hit last year. Widespread project postponements and cancellations have led to corresponding reductions across the …

The internet as a lifeline for AEC SMEs

By Paul Wilkinson in AEC, Blogs, Business/Financial, Collaboration, Extranet/CDE, Future, Internet, Marketing, People issues, Web 2.0
15 April 2009

(This is a slightly updated version of a post from my pwcom2.0 blog that discusses potential use of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), among other tactics, for managing the impact of the recession upon SMEs in the AEC sector.) Given that most of the businesses active in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) sectors are small or medium-sized …

BIM and social media

By Paul Wilkinson in AEC, Blogs, Collaboration, Future, People issues, Sustainability, Web 2.0
3 April 2009

Last month, Birmingham-based architect Rob Annable of Axis Design spoke at Ecobuild on BIM and social media (see post). The Building Sustainable Design blog has just published a guest post by Rob in which he elaborates on that presentation – it’s well worth reading. (Thanks, Rob for the Be2camp mention!)

Red Nose Day goes Cloudy

By Paul Wilkinson in Blogs, Internet, Web 2.0
13 March 2009

Launched in 1985, Red Nose Day is an annual charity fund-raising programme supported by a huge range of UK organisations, schools and offices. It has even worked its magic across Twitter, Facebook, Bebo, numerous blogs and other social media – where numerous avatars, including mine, now feature temporary red noses (courtesy of DigitalRedNose.com). Among other …

A new blog, a new direction

By Paul Wilkinson in AEC, Blogs, Business/Financial, Collaboration, Extranet/CDE, Future, Internet, Marketing, People issues, SaaS, Web 2.0
6 March 2009

Sharp-eyed visitors to this blog may have noticed a new RSS feed in the side-bar – from pwcom. This is my new blog focused on PR, marketing and Web 2.0, with a strong bias towards how these are used in the architecture, engineering, construction and property sectors. I have discussed Web 2.0 a lot in …

Out of the blue: LotusLive

By Paul Wilkinson in AEC, Blogs, Collaboration, Functionality, SaaS, Vendors, Web 2.0
19 February 2009

About a year ago, I wrote a short post about IBM’s prototype Bluehouse product (see IBM targets SME collaboration with SaaS Bluehouse). Today at Public Service Events’ Construction Project Management ’09 conference at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester, I had chance to get a quick update on latest iteration of that product from the team …

Let’s make construction more ‘social’

By Paul Wilkinson in AEC, Blogs, Collaboration, Internet, Marketing, People issues, SaaS, Web 2.0
3 February 2009

[This is a re-post of a blog article I wrote for Building Sustainable Design, which launched this week.] I have spent more than half my career in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) and property industry looking at issues relating to collaboration, and since 2000 have been focused on how to use internet-based technologies to …

Tackling ‘the interweb thingy’

By Paul Wilkinson in AEC, Blogs, Business/Financial, Internet, Marketing, People issues, Web 2.0
2 February 2009

Over the weekend, I enjoyed reading a BBC Business article by Tim Weber from last week’s economic summit in Davos. In How companies tackle the interweb thingy, he points out that while every company worth its salt has a website, many “are still struggling to move beyond having a colourful website towards really using the …
