BuilditLive leading construction software move to the clouds

The Wall Street Journal today (7/13/10) had a big article about Microsoft and their partners and their initiatives to expand cloud computing.

"Cloud computing has grown in popularity because of the cost savings it offers companies, as well as the speed it promises to give them to develop applications and services." - Cheng and Borzo, WSJ.

BuilditLive.com is completely cloud based, with no software for users to install. BuilditLive makes it easy to contractors, architects, and engineers to collaborate on projects because all the participants, regardless of their operating system or hardware, can access BuilditLive from any internet browser. Any because BuilditLive relies on cloud infrastructure it can be offered for only $35 per month per project, not per user. That is an incredible savings over comparable but inferior applications costing $2000 per user per year.

BuilditLive is an effective communication tool, with much more to offer than construction industry FTP sites. Here is a link to the benefits over FTP sites: http://www.builditlive.com/Features/ReplacesFtpSites.aspx

Legacy software vendors are going to struggle mightily to compete with cloud based solution providers. BuilditLive is the future.
