Nathan invests in Asite

This third consecutive post on Asite concerns its Stock Exchange announcement that Asite director Nathan Doughty (see his Free Collaboration blog) purchased 307,692 Asite shares at 3.25 pence per share on 2 June 2006. For his £10k investment, Nathan now holds approximately 0.298% of the issued ordinary shares of the company. It’s an intriguing move, …

Latest Asite results

Simultaneously with last week’s announcement of Asite’s change of CEO (see preceding post), was the Stock Exchange announcement of Asite’s final results for the year ending 31 December 2005. Turnover was down 9% on the previous year at £1.529m (from 2004 figure of £1.674). Underlying trends were a little more optimistic – for example, the …

Asite CEO change

Less than six months ago, in Asite CEO goes permanent, I noted that Asite‘s Gordon Ashworth had been appointed CEO instead of acting CEO. It seems this move wasn’t particularly "permanent", as last week (see Asite announcement or Stock Exchange notice) Ashworth stepped down to be replaced by former sales director and then chief operating …

ITCF 2006 conference (3)

Andrew Coombes at Eat Your CAD gives a delegate’s view of proceedings at last month’s ITCF conference. Pleased to see he rated the day sufficiently highly that he would "definitely" go again. Whether the same view would be shared by some of the NCCTP members is another matter. As the main sponsor bringing together several …

Deltek in UK

An appearance was made at Wednesday’s ITCF conference by a stand from US accounting and ERP software vendor Deltek. I was aware of the business from monitoring various US-based websites, but I hadn’t appreciated that they were also active on the eastern side of the Atlantic (they have a London office and one in Welwyn …

eTenderer.com achieves RICS compliance (2)

At the ITCF event yesterday, I asked the Sarcophagus guys about the RICS e-tendering compliance process (see 22 May post). It seems that the compliance mainly involved close reading by Sarcophagus of last October’s RICS guidance (as a result of which they tweaked their system in a few places). I didn’t get the impression that …

Version 2.0 will apparently be launched be publicly launched at the ITCF (IT Construction …

ProjectWise StartPoint

At AECnews.com, Randall Newton – en route to the Bentley BE conference – briefly mentions Bentley’s new product (see my 19 May post), adding: My old buddy, Joe Croser, formerly a UK architectural consultant and now a Bentley employee, thinks it “bridges a very important gap in the market.” I’ll take a look and see …

Changes at BuildOnline? (4)

Another comment, this time to yesterday’s post about BuildOnline, says: "trying to get hold of anyone at BuildOnline is also very interesting. Call the general enquires number and you end up with someones voice mail! Does this mean a shake up of the reception as well?" I’m not sure if there’s been a revolution in …
