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 …

CTSpace website taking shape
As mentioned last week, the new CTSpace website is taking shape, adopting the ‘look and feel’ of the parent Sword Group website, and with a new CTSpace logo incorporating the words “A Sword Group Company”. It’s a good-looking site – I like the animated photographs on the home page. CTSpace claims 135,000 users (though this …

CTSpace website to launch shortly?
Changes afoot regarding the long overdue CTSpace website (see previous posts here and here), though the work doesn’t yet appear to be complete (some pages appear just to be text-dumps from the old site; many don’t have a CTSpace URL – just an IP address). Expect the new Sword-style site to be relaunched shortly.

Representatives of 4Projects, Aconex, BIW (me!), Business Collaborator, Causeway and Sarcophagus met today in the upstairs room of a pub (fittingly, perhaps, The Phoenix) in London’s Victoria to discuss the future of the NCCTP, the UK construction collaboration technology providers association.
