Less than six months ago, in Asite CEO goes permanent, I noted that Asite‘s Gordon Ashworth had been appointed CEO instead of acting CEO. It seems this move wasn’t particularly "permanent", as last week (see Asite announcement or Stock Exchange notice) Ashworth stepped down to be replaced by former sales director and then chief operating …

ITCF 2006 conference (3)
Andrew Coombes at Eat Your CAD gives a delegate’s view of proceedings at last month’s ITCF conference. Pleased to see he rated the day sufficiently highly that he would "definitely" go again. Whether the same view would be shared by some of the NCCTP members is another matter. As the main sponsor bringing together several …

NCCTP AEC collaboration market research (2)
While serving on the panel of the NCCTP-sponsored stream session at yesterday’s IT Construction Forum annual conference at the Oval in London, I told the audience that the NCCTP was undertaking some market research into user opinions and experiences of the leading UK ‘extranet’ systems. The fieldwork, undertaken by independent market research agency Benchmark, is …

eTenderer.com achieves RICS compliance (2)
At the ITCF event yesterday, I asked the Sarcophagus guys about the RICS e-tendering compliance process (see 22 May post). It seems that the compliance mainly involved close reading by Sarcophagus of last October’s RICS guidance (as a result of which they tweaked their system in a few places). I didn’t get the impression that …

eTenderer.com achieves RICS compliance
I notice from the latest news release on the website of UK construction collaboration technology vendor, Sarcophagus, that its online procurement solution, eTenderer, has been updated to be the first product of its type to comply with the RICS e-tendering guidelines. Version 2.0 will apparently be launched be publicly launched at the ITCF (IT Construction …

ProjectWise StartPoint
At AECnews.com, Randall Newton – en route to the Bentley BE conference – briefly mentions Bentley’s new product (see my 19 May post), adding: My old buddy, Joe Croser, formerly a UK architectural consultant and now a Bentley employee, thinks it “bridges a very important gap in the market.” I’ll take a look and see …

Changes at BuildOnline? (4)
Another comment, this time to yesterday’s post about BuildOnline, says: "trying to get hold of anyone at BuildOnline is also very interesting. Call the general enquires number and you end up with someones voice mail! Does this mean a shake up of the reception as well?" I’m not sure if there’s been a revolution in …

Bentley Unveils ProjectWise StartPoint
There are a few Bentley ProjectWise users in the UK architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) market (about seven years ago, in my freelance days, I wrote a case study for the UK’s IT Best Practice Programme about how architect Damond Lock Grabowski was using the system). Will the latest news from Bentley see that number …

4Projects enjoys doubled profit (2)
An anonymous comment on yesterday's post about 4Projects says: "interesting 4Projects claimed to have made a £590,000 profit in Oct 2004" and points at a BIW press release. I think the confusion may have arisen because the 2004 headline figure included a proportion of 4Projects' profits that were returned to the parent Leighton Group. The …

Overcoming ‘Islands of information’
When comparing traditional project team-working and working using web-based collaboration platforms, a phrase I frequently use in presentations is "islands of information" (the same phrase I have just seen used on the Innovation Weblog). In the context of construction projects, I use the term to describe individuals and companies who, due to the predominantly paper-based …
