e-Pin overhauls website
Keeping my eye on the competition, I looked at UK collaboration vendor ePIN’s website today, noticing that it too has recently undergone an overhaul (following the recent revamps by Causeway and Cadweb). While it is very informative in some areas – its description of its hosting by Verizon is very detailed, for example – it …

Cyril Sweett on BIW (2): Cadweb misleads
I see Cadweb is deliberately misleading visitors to its website again. By carefully editing out any mention of any other firms in its quoted extract from Contract Journal, it would have you believe that consultant Cyril Sweett’s favourite extranet is Cadweb, and that Cadweb is the solution most used at Sweett’s. The edited extract is …

Autodesk completes Constructware purchase
On Friday 31 March, Autodesk announced that it had completed its $46 million acquisition of on-demand software vendor Constructware. The latter’s website promptly disappeared and you are now redirected to pages about Autodesk Constructware – sorry, make that "Autodesk® Constructware®" as ‘Constructware’ is now another registered trademark of Autodesk Inc. Among a fairly comprehensive re-branding, …

Cyril Sweett on BIW
In January (see Rok set on in-house capability), I commented on Contract Journal’s regular insight into AEC company’s IT practices. This month’s subject is construction consultancy Cyril Sweett (13 offices and 550 staff in the UK; 52 and 1500 globally). On the collaboration question, IT director John Hadji-Michael responded: "The project collaboration tools we make …

Harvard conference, March 2006 (5)
Perhaps my final note on the Harvard Conference earlier this month (see previous link)…. I recently received a post-conference ‘thank-you’ email sent by Burcin Becerik to all delegates to the event; the email includes a useful link to the conference presentations and other information. The same link also gives details of how to acquire a …

Direct marketing works
As a PR/marketing professional working in the IT world, it is sometimes easy to forget that offline marketing techniques still have their place. While I have become a little disenchanted with trade shows, BIW still experiments with such events (next month, one of my colleagues will be at an IT Showcase event in Leeds, and …
