Last month (Document control takes a vacation?), I linked to an infographic produced by McLaren Software regarding the potential value of document control within a major capital project when something goes wrong (that infographic is now linked from a new McLaren blog, Document Control Unplugged, by the way – good to see another vendor start …

Construction IT events need great topics, and good organisers
The recent cancellation of a London construction IT conference underlines the need not just to find the right subject, but also the right organisers. Two topics in construction IT are currently almost guaranteed to attract good event audiences: building information modelling (BIM) and mobile IT.

4Projects recruiting for growth
In December, I talked about the recent financial performance of Sunderland, UK-based construction collaboration technology provider 4Projects.

ExtranetEvolution.com: the 2011 numbers
In April 2011, I migrated the ExtranetEvolution blog from TypePad to a hosted version of WordPress (post), and I have just been reviewing annual statistics for the site for the first time in two years (in fact, since my 2009 review).

New BIM battleground emerging
When a construction IT conference at the ICE sells out three months beforehand after just three weeks, it’s clear there is a lot of interest in the subject.
