The architectural, engineering and construction (AEC) industry is going through a major transitional moment in its history, as the Web—specifically project web sites known commonly as "extranets"—are transforming the way project teams work with project information. There are now a number of extranet providers offering a range of similar services for online project collaboration, electronic document management (EDM), and project/team communication. Most extranet providers use technology that is platform neutral, something one should expect with the Web, but there are others who are completely Wintel. Listed below, in order of Mac-friendliness, are the top tier extranet providers: • Bricsnet (ProjectCenter) • Bidcom (InSite) • Cephren (ProjectNet) For an older Architosh article on Extranet providers click here.
