Changes at BuildOnline? (3)
It’s never a dull moment at BuildOnline – every few months, they move things around and change some job-titles. Having made a few changes in October 2005, then again in December, today we noticed from BO’s main website that Stuart Lander had lost his crown as the grand-sounding "President, Americas" (before that he was managing …

I promptly and prominently published a correction immediately underneath the original post, apologising and explaining that the inaccuracy …

Constructware and Autodesk
At AECCadalyst.com, an article, "Digitizing the Paper Trail", helps explain some benefits of using an online collaboration solution – in this case, Constructware. The final section mentions the recent acquisition of Constructware by Autodesk (see previous post) and gives a Constructware customer’s perspective (Debra Kunce, program director at design agency Schmidt Associates): Reflecting on the …

It has announced that its technology partner, Adenium Systems, has developed a document management and fulfillment product that integrates with Meridian’s Prolog software: "Adenium’s Document Fulfillment System (DFS) enables scanning and indexing of a high volume of drawings, plans and other project documents, …

“$275m property e-manager project”
Wow! What an eye-catching Australian IT headline! Aconex must be making mega-bucks – to the uninitiated, this 21 March story looks like a $275 million deal!
