Asite’s website has revealed the “major new development” announced at last week’s half-day conference (see previous post). It was two ‘new’ products: Asite Workspace and Asite Building Information Model (BIM). Asite Workspace is described in Asite’s press release as: “an entry level collaboration tool, addressing the concerns of the industry highlighted by the 2006 NCCTP …

Dochosting Data Management

By Paul Wilkinson in AEC, Collaboration, Extranet/CDE, Functionality, Internet, Marketing, SaaS, Vendors
28 September 2006

After discovering Dochosting via Contract Journal (see previous post), I have tried to find out more about the company. The Dochosting website is, to say the least, sketchy on details of the company, giving only telephone and fax numbers (not even an email address!); no postal address or contact names either. From the STD code of …

By Paul Wilkinson in Blogs, Books, Collaboration, Extranet/CDE, Marketing
27 September 2006

Looking back at what I was doing 12 months ago, I have just realised that this blog is now been in existence for over a year (my first post was on 15 September 2005). In the first full month (October 2005), according to my StatCounter.com stats, there were a very modest 317 page-loads by 155 unique visitors. Since then numbers have …

SaaS traction in the AEC industry

By Paul Wilkinson in AEC, Collaboration, Extranet/CDE, Internet, Marketing, SaaS, Vendors
20 September 2006

Back in June (see post), I discussed some provocative claims (in Randall Newton’s AECnews) from US vendor Newforma about ASP traction in the AEC sector. In a comment at the time, I expressed the hope that US providers would back up my own UK-based experiences. Today (in Autodesk Takes Exception to Newforma’s ‘No ASP Traction …
