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.
First comprehensive guide to 'extranets'
The UK's first book focused on construction project 'extranets' has been written by BIW Technologies' Paul Wilkinson.
After researching the market, it chose ASPGulf for its commitment to meeting BIW's requirements for hosting mission-critical software and data.
"Establishing a new managed hosting infrastructure in the UAE demonstrates BIW's commitment to our local customers' needs," says Asif Sharif, BIW's general manager, Middle East.
"BIW has several strong customer relationships and our technology is being employed on numerous prestigious developments".
"With the recent launch of a BIW helpdesk supporting the Gulf region, our partnership with ASPGulf further underlines our focus on quality of service in the Middle East market".
ASPGulf deploys its clients' web servers in two internet data centres which are constructed to world-class hosting standards, in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
The latter - used by BIW - has recently been enhanced and is one of the most sophisticated centres in the region.
Its facilities are also designed to cater for disaster recovery requirements with redundancy being built in at all levels - equipment, network, electricity, connectivity and location.
Chris Jaguros, general manager at ASPGulf said: "We are delighted at BIW's decision to work with us".
"BIW is well-known within the construction collaboration market for its exacting hosting requirements, and it was a challenging commission to win".
"We are already developing detailed plans to enhance the service resilience we provide for BIW and its regional customers and end-users".
In October 2007, BIW established an office in India.
This was set up as an additional centre for customer support across the Middle East, and to provide additional resources to work with BIW's UK-based product management and software teams on the continued development of BIW's core products.
