StoreData results
The latest financial reports from retail fit-out specialist contractor Styles & Wood show that its StoreData division, which competes in the UK construction collaboration technology (aka ‘extranet’) field, did not have a good first six months in 2007. While overall group revenues and profits were up, StoreData “as expected … had a slower first half than last …

People, processes and technology
Attend almost any AEC industry conference or seminar where construction collaboration technologies are discussed and you will usually hear something to the effect that successful collaboration is 80% about people and processes and only 20% about the technologies involved (in my book, I even ventured that the balance could be more like 90/10).

Valuing a SaaS business
Last week, I briefly speculated on how you value an IT business, skimming across several alternative approaches before focusing on the ‘precedent’ approach in the context of UK construction collaboration software vendor 4Projects’ MBO.

Causeway acquires Elstree Computing
With my July holiday and the MBO at 4Projects, another event in the UK construction computing world almost slipped under my radar. Causeway Technologies (vendor of Causeway Collaboration) acquired Elstree Computing (ECL – with its own Information Manager document management and collaboration solution) last month (see Causeway news release). “With over 2,000 customers and employing 150 …

e-Builder makes its “major announcement”
I wrote last month about US construction collaboration vendor e-Builder and its impending major announcement. I waited well into July to see what this would be, but nothing appeared on the e-Builder website until just over a week ago when a release finally appeared, backdated to 29 June. e-Builder announced “the launch of e-Builder Enterprise 6.0, …

Emap Construct titles to move?
Like some of my counterparts at rival UK construction collaboration vendors, I have enjoyed working with one-time marketing director (now strategy and development director) Ross Sturley and his colleagues at Emap Construct, publisher of trade papers Construction News, New Civil Engineer and Architects’ Journal (among others) and past organiser of ‘project extranet’ conferences.
