The latest spin on CTSpace comes in a one-page ‘Company focus’ feature in UK trade weekly Building (see PDF on CTSpace’s website). At first glance, the article, written by Mark Leftly, makes CTSpace seem a very credible venture, but I think there are some very debatable assertions. I was puzzled by the claim that the merger …

Nathan ups his Asite stake
Days after Asite CEO Tony Ryan bought nearly £9,000-worth of shares in the company (see Now Tony invests in Asite), it has been announced that CTO Nathan Doughty has increased his stake by purchasing 65,362 shares at 3.41 pence each (total cost around £2,230). I am a little concerned at the timing: working for an …

Managing your AEC content – part 2
Last week, I moaned (Outdated claims on document management) about an AECWeekly feature (thanks to E-builder ‘s Sergio Aranda for his supportive comment). The follow-up piece, Managing Your AEC Content Part II, has just appeared and the reason for last week’s brief mention of Bentley ProjectWise is now clear. This week’s article is built around a …

Now Tony invests in Asite
In June 2006, CTO Nathan Doughty invested around £10k in UK collaboration technology vendor Asite (see post). Just over seven months later (according to its latest London Stock Exchange announcement), Asite CEO Tony Ryan has followed suit, buying 255,579 shares at 3.518 pence per share on 12 January 2007; for just under £9k, Tony now holds approximately 0.248 per …

Collaborative BIM – wow! or what?!
After my ‘extranet’ predictions post earlier this week, I had a think about Asite‘s Collaborative BIM product, and whether the industry is yet ready for such a thing. Regular readers may recall (see my 10 October 2006 post) that Asite first announced its ‘forthcoming’ collaborative BIM product at a London conference on 4 October. Just over a fortnight …

Sarcophagus revamps website
UK construction collaboration vendor Sarcophagus has revamped its website and corporate branding, probably to coincide with the company’s move to new offices in central Wakefield. Most of the website’s content remains the same as before, but the site has a brighter ‘look and feel’.

Outdated claims on document management
Sometimes you read things that are just plain wrong. Take today, for instance. I spotted a potentially interesting headline at AECcafe.com: Managing Your AEC Content – Part I, so I click on the link and, scanning the opening paragraph, see the words ‘document management’. So far, so good, but then I read the piece…. The opening …

BuildOnline UK position worsened
Prior to BuildOnline’s merger with Citadon to form CTSpace, its financial performance in the UK was getting even worse. As previously discussed (see BuildOnline and Koral on 14 November 2006 and BIW’s growth continues – but what about the others? on 8 November 2006), BO’s latest Companies House accounts show its UK business was already struggling in …

CAD file viewers
I’d almost forgetten Whip! Most vendors of construction collaboration technologies (sometimes called ‘extranets’) will recommend third-party applications to use with their collaboration solutions in order to view, mark-up and comment upon CAD files. Among the pure collaboration vendors, only my employer, BIW Technologies, offers its own integrated file viewing technology, but I sometimes forget about the solutions …
