Une étude intéressante sur le marché anglais du travail collaboratif – No, I haven’t decided to blog in French, but I found a French blogger interested in what is happening in the UK construction collaboration market. My French is poor but (with a little help from the Babel Fish website translator) I think the writer, …

Croser v. Baxter (‘Building Design’ collaboration debate)

You can read the articles yourselves (available online here), but I have picked out what I think were the key exchanges – I wish …

Ireland’s Sunday Business Post has reported that “early investors in early investors in Dublin online firm BuildOnline are nursing losses after the firm merged with a US company”.

UK vendor trends
This blog has reported several times on the financial performance of the main UK vendors of construction collaboration technologies (aka ‘extranets’). In light of recent results, I thought I would provide a quick graphical update/overview of the performance of the main UK vendors (those for whom I have some financial information) over the past four years. …

Asite 2006 financials
Much earlier than in previous years, the latest annual results from UK-based collaboration vendor Asite have just been released (view Stock Exchange announcement). The gradual downward slide in Asite’s turnover shows no sign of abating (see previous posts on interims and 2005 results; this is not a ‘dip’ in sales, as Hemscott reports). Turnover for …

ePIN overhauls website (3)
Just over a year ago, I mentioned that, ePIN, one of the smaller UK vendors of construction collaboration technology had refreshed its website. This must be an annual task, for they have just done it again (ePIN director Robin Shipston told me in October that it was “being re-vamped as we speak”) – and it is one of …

Cadweb misclaims ISO leadership
UK extranet provider Cadweb says it “is the first Project Extranet to be certified to the new International Standard ISO/IEC 27001″. Its news release also says that it is “the only Project Extranet to be certified to this standard”. Wrong on both counts, Cadweb, and by over a year. ISO/IEC 27001 concerns information security management …
