The UK operation of Australia-based online construction collaboration technology vendor Aconex tended to lag behind its home-grown competitors, but in the past couple of years it appears the London office has made a great leap forward. The latest published results (up to 30 June 2008) show it dramatically increased its turnover and reported a healthy …

BuildOnline’s UK downward drift
Partly out of historical interest, I continue to monitor the company reporting of BuildOnline, a construction collaboration technology vendor which is now part of the French-owned Sword Group, today trading as Sword CTSpace and offering a portfolio of products from former offerings BuildOnline, Citadon and, more recently, Cimage. BuildOnline (UK) Ltd’s Annual Report and Accounts …

More design review applications
A couple of years ago (2 March 2007, to be more precise), I noted the emergence of some marketing-related online applications, ConceptShare and ReviewBasics, that allow, for example, graphic designers to share brochure and advertising designs with their clients and other collaborators. As a marketeer, I recently looked again at this creative industries technology area …

I HATE LOSING!
UK construction collaboration technology vendors with long(ish) memories will recall the surge in interest by the major UK water utility companies in using web-based systems to support their Asset Management Programmes (AMPs) during the early 2000s. Former BuildOnline boss Mark Suster, now a venture capitalist in California, tells the story of a defeat clutched from …

‘Extranet’ vendors getting social?
(This is a slightly amended version of a post from my pwcom2.0 blog that discusses how UK construction collaboration vendors are embracing social media as part of their communications mix.) I have spent much of the past ten years working in the ‘extranet’ or ‘construction collaboration technologies’ market, but as well as this blog, I …

INCITE insight
Just before I went on holiday (Menorca, very nice), I had lunch in London with Sean Kaye and Michael Baker, respectively CEO and General Manager, Technology of Australia-based construction collaboration vendor Incite.

Google Wave
The web is abuzz with excitement this morning about Google Wave (see this great summary at Mashable), Google’s new real-time communication platform “coming later this year”. It combines aspects of email, instant messaging, wikis, web chat, social networking, and project management into one in-browser communication client. Already, people have started wondering about the potential of …

Do StoreData results indicate slowdown in UK construction collaboration market?
With Asite‘s financial performance now less public following its delisting from London’s AIM earlier this week, it is more difficult to assess what impact the recession is having on collaboration vendors. However, troubled retail fit-out specialist contractor Styles & Wood has a support business, StoreData, which competes in the UK construction collaboration technology market, and …
