Two UK-based SaaS collaboration vendors have been officially licensed by NEC to deliver NEC3 construction contract information.

Sypro Management
Formed in 2007, Sypro is another SaaS player targeting the construction contract management market. Sometimes even just the simple step of following someone on Twitter can bring you some attention. Recently, I got a new follower using the Twitter handle @SyproNEC, representing Sypro Management Ltd, an East Yorkshire, UK-based company specialising in web-based collaboration software …

Risk reduction or scare-mongering?
New guidance from Wren Insurance on “cloud technology” seems pessimistic and even outdated. In this post, I take a detailed look at how construction collaboration technology vendors have, since 2000, responded to similar objections. Legal issues of collaboration In 2004, David Whitton of Wren Insurance, one of the UK construction industry’s leading providers of professional …

Personnel changes, and an iPhone app, at Sword CTSpace
When I wrote about the forthcoming ICT4Construction conference (taking place in central London next Thursday, 28 November), I mentioned John Pomeroy was speaking on behalf of construction collaboration technology vendor Sword CTSpace. He isn’t any more, though, as he joined unstructured information software provider MarkLogic as vice president, Europe in August (see news release). John’s …

CAD in the cloud – needs selling on the ground
Software-as-a-Service approaches to design in the AEC market can learn a lot from how SaaS has been deployed to provide construction collaborative platforms since the late 1990s, but the marketing challenges still tend to require more than just an online presence.

Collaborate – via your printer
Hewlett-Packard has rarely featured in ExtranetEvolution.com – which is hardly surprising as HP is mainly known in architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) circles as a provider of print hardware solutions, not collaborative software applications. Indeed, I learned last week that there are now around 1.5 million HP DesignJet large format printers in use, and that …

Woobius pushing the self-service SaaS offer
From its April 2009 launch, Woobius* has been looking to differentiate itself from competitors by virtue of its simplicity (see posts 1, 2). It still believes this is the right approach (albeit less overtly) and while most of its Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) construction collaboration competitors, UK and overseas, still employ conventional sales and deployment consultants, Woobius has …
