BIW Accelerates Collaboration
The most widely used web-based collaboration platform for the construction industry, BIW Information Channel from BIW Technologies, can now deliver drawings and other documents much more quickly.
In the 12 months up to 30 September 2005, BIW added a record 11,456 new registered users, and its community now extends across some 5,200 different organisations.
In the past six months, the BIW user base has been growing by an average 1,100 per month.
Users logged in just under two million times, and published over 442,000 CAD drawings and 237,000 other documents (excluding comments, requests for information, instructions, transmittals and other electronically-generated forms and reports).
In total, BIW now hosts over 1.5 million CAD drawings and nearly 800,000 other documents, and its system has been accessed over 7.8 million times.
"We expected the numbers to begin to level off over time as people settled on their preferred systems," says BIW chief executive Colin Smith.
"However, we have continued to grow our market share, winning new customers and attracting new supply chain users".
"Our forward order book now stands at over GBP7 million, up from GBP6 million at the beginning of 2005.".
