IT at the heart of collaborative working
Earlier this year, the NCCTP became a membership forum within Constructing Excellence.

However, I see that a Davis Langdon employee, Simon Burke, has just won a special award for his masters dissertation on the subject of extranets – an achievement reported …

Aconex court case – latest
Somebody asked me today if the Aconex dispute with one of its shareholders had been resolved (see previous post). The answer is no, at least not yet. Court hearings were held on 9, 10, 12, 15 and 16 October, and the next hearing is scheduled for 2 November. A final ruling may, therefore, still be some …

Email or extranet?
Despite the protestations of some Crackberry addicts who can’t leave their email alone, extranets are a far better way for people to collaborate on documents online. Rick Mosenkis of Trichys Workzone clearly shares the same view: read his The Email Alternative: Using An Extranet For Online Document Sharing. (I especially liked his point: “With an …
