By Paul Wilkinson in Extranet/CDE, Functionality, Marketing, Vendors
5 October 2006

A day after Asite‘s half-day conference in London and no clues on its website as to what "major new development" was launched at the event. Perhaps you had to be there….

Dochosting Data Management

By Paul Wilkinson in AEC, Collaboration, Extranet/CDE, Functionality, Internet, Marketing, SaaS, Vendors
28 September 2006

After discovering Dochosting via Contract Journal (see previous post), I have tried to find out more about the company. The Dochosting website is, to say the least, sketchy on details of the company, giving only telephone and fax numbers (not even an email address!); no postal address or contact names either. From the STD code of …

Contract Journal feature on online collaboration

By Paul Wilkinson in AEC, Collaboration, Extranet/CDE, Marketing, Vendors
28 September 2006

UK weekly Contract Journal has published a feature on online collaboration, written by Rebecca Froley. This mentions the findings of the NCCTP market research and links to the NCCTP website. Unfortunately, only half the NCCTP members are mentioned by name (no links or reference to two of the UK market’s major players BIW Technologies or Business …

SaaS traction in the AEC industry

By Paul Wilkinson in AEC, Collaboration, Extranet/CDE, Internet, Marketing, SaaS, Vendors
20 September 2006

Back in June (see post), I discussed some provocative claims (in Randall Newton’s AECnews) from US vendor Newforma about ASP traction in the AEC sector. In a comment at the time, I expressed the hope that US providers would back up my own UK-based experiences. Today (in Autodesk Takes Exception to Newforma’s ‘No ASP Traction …

A co-ordinated approach to construction IT in the UK

By Paul Wilkinson in AEC, Collaboration, Future, Marketing, Vendors
13 September 2006

Back in February (Long overdue CICA changes), I touched briefly on the need for there to be a more coordinated approach to managing IT interests in the UK construction industry. I suggested there was a potentially confusing array of organisations – the CICA, the IT Construction Forum and Construct IT for Business – representing general …

By Paul Wilkinson in AEC, Collaboration, Extranet/CDE, Functionality, Future, Internet, People issues, ROI/benefits, Vendors
5 September 2006

The latest publication to feature the NCCTP’s recently published research report "Proving Collaboration Pays" (see previous post) was the leading UK weekly, Building (25 August 2006 issue). The article, How good are extranets?, by Sonia Soltani, doesn’t just focus on the report though; it gives the views of numerous users – from Bouygues UK, Gleeds, …
