On the same day last week that I swapped emails with Knowledge Architecture’s Chris Parsons (see post), I read in AECcafe.com that New Hampshire, USA-based AEC software vendor Newforma was forming a user community in the UK (see Newforma Users Form Community in United Kingdom). Newforma hired former Excitech executive Tim Bates as a new …

Union Square Workspace reviewed
Union Square Software’s Workspace solution has been reviewed by Bloor Research‘s Simon Holloway in an article, Collaboration for Construction with Union Square Software, on IT-Director.com. Three points struck me as I read the analysis. First, a minor point, but Simon writes: “After years of being slow to change, the construction industry has finally started to …

Union Square grows 34%
At one time, Union Square Software Ltd was perceived as a competitor in the UK construction collaboration technology (or “project extranet”) market. However, these days it markets itself as a vendor of a construction-oriented “knowledge management and internal collaboration tool”, Workspace. According to its latest trading statement, its revenues grew 34% in the year to …

Asite Workspace demo on YouTube
To help companies capture potential sales leads, they normally ask users to enter some contact details before they can view or download some sales materials from their websites. UK-based construction collaboration technology vendor Asite is no exception when it comes to its Asite Workspace application – except that it is now possible to view the …

“Entry-level” collaboration
Just over a week after the previous one (see post), a second news release has appeared on Asite‘s website telling how a further customer has opted for its low-cost Asite Workspace solution, launched late last year. Engineering and environmental consultancy Wardell Armstrong LLP has become the latest to select Asite Workspace, using the tool for …

Workspace + Workspace
According to a news release on Asite‘s website, the company has secured a customer for its entry-level solution, Asite Workspace. REID Architecture, who recently merged with 3D to become 3DReid “chose Asite Workspace to collaborate with its supply chain at the early stages of the Gibraltar’s new air terminal project”. This will presumably be the same REID architecture …

Asite Workspace arrives
A new logo on the home page of Asite‘s website alerts us to the belated launch (or, given that Asite has previously marketed a similar product, should that read ‘relaunch’?) of Asite Workspace – announced in October 2006 as being available from December. The web-based collaboration product is positioned as an easy-to-use “cost-effective solution for small projects”. The basic …

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 …

BT Workspace
Almost unnoticed, UK telecoms provider BT has recently launched a web-based service, BT Workspace, aimed at helping people in small to medium-sized enterprises share information and collaborate with each other. It talks about getting rid of email clutter, and managing and controlling projects via extranet functionality, with intranet functionality also available for internal company dicussions …

The email argument revisited
I keep returning to this topic (see previous post, for example). This time, my post has been prompted by three things: a Union Square press release, a conversation with Sarcophagus’s Jeremy Sainter, and a blog posting by Lars Plougmann linking to the thoughts of a Harvard professor. Taking these in reverse order, Lars writes about …
