SAGE JOINS CONSTRUCTION GROUP

 Dennis Stejskal, SageSage North America has been accepted as a member of the Construction Open Software Alliance, a new organization dedicated to sharing information between project participants. The alliance also will champion the agcXML standard developed in 2008 by the Associated General Contractors of America.
And it may be less important what the group does, for the moment, than the fact that Sage is doing something is one of those famous non-core areas. Sage said noncore does not [necessarily] dead and it may be that moves like this signal noncore will also not mean getting token support and funding. The agcXML standard is designed to standard data exchange between construction applications. In making the announcement, Sage noted that "many technology providers have not yet adopted the standard." In a prepared statement, Dennis Stejskal, VP of product management at Sage Construction and Real Estate, noted that by supporting the standard Sage is trying to ensure "our customers can submit and respond to RFIs and other documents no matter the software system another building team member is using.” Mentally, I've tied this with last week's news that Sage is talking to its nonprofit channel and, just maybe, it is trying to put life into some noncore areas. We'll see.
