Be launches collaborative exchange programme

An initiative to deliver improved project and business performance to support collaborative working through the use of information and communication technologies was launched last week.
The Avanti Programme, the brainchild of Be (Collaborating for the Built Environment), is claimed to support construction project teams in adopting integrated, collaborative working over the next five years.
The programme will be funded by £750,000 from the Department of Trade and Industry and will provide a standard method of data exchange and information management between team members - along with access to experts who can help implement the method.
