Viewpoint acquires Construction Imaging

Viewpoint Construction Software, the Oregon, US-based construction ERP vendor has made another move towards the collaboration sector with its just-announced acquisition of fellow US company Construction Imaging, a provider of enterprise content management solutions.

I spoke to Viewpoint’s management in February and it was clear they were keen to extend the scope of their core platform to cover related construction project needs, including – potentially – online collaboration. This deal, though, is more about business process support; Construction Imaging’s solutions tend to focus more on helping firms process financial and HR transactions than on managing design or construction information.
