Computers for Construction ’99 Doubles Web-based Product Space

 

The construction industry is a new focus for Internet Technology.   The Computers for Construction ’99 & A/E/C SYSTEMS Fall Shows, which cater to this industry reported that space for web-based products doubled.  The exhibitor included key providers of internet applications in the AEC industry, such as Microsoft, Blue-Line/On-Line, Cubus Corporation and BidCom.  Exhibitors displayed the latest in internet services, project web sites, web based project management and more.

 

A special “Summit on the Future of Engineering Software” preceded the event, sponsored by the CAD Society.  64 leaders of the manufacturing, AEC, software, hardware, research, and financial community met to develop an agenda for engineering software in the next millennium.  According to Summit Chairman Brad Holtz, “The engineering community now regards the us of project web sites as inevitable.  The is no question that the web will become an integral part of their business practices.”
