RIB Software AG / Key word(s): Acquisition 30-07-2014 Market entry in 6 D Big-Data-Technology RIB Software AG (RSTA) acquires 100% of Scandinavian Market leader Byggeweb A/S (Docia), Copenhagen, Denmark Stuttgart, Germany, 30 July 2014. RIB AG proudly announces the completion of the acquisition of the Cloud (SaaS) Software Company Byggeweb A/S trading as Docia outside Scandinavia. Docia is Scandinavia's leading provider of cloud based collaboration software within Project-Management (PM) and Facility-Management (6D). However, as Docia's collaborative applications are being utilised in several other industries e.g. infrastructure, transportation and offshore. The Company currently has 7,000 customers and 110,000 users across 20 countries globally, conducting more than 850 construction projects simultaneously. Docia is a fast growing cloud software company with a strong team, strong growth and high potential. Docia is a well-established player in a fast developing cloud software market that is expected to gain further traction in the next years. Docia has secured contracts to provide online Project Management and Facility Management solutions for a significant part of the construction projects in Scandinavia and UK, along with projects globally e.g. Middle-East, US, Asia and Europe. Integrating Docia's innovative cloud based Project- and Facility-Management platform within the iTWO 5D Big Data technology will have again a fundamental influence on the thinking and actions in the global construction market. Just as RIB introduced the iTWO 5D Big Data platform as a work community in which all partners involved in the construction are jointly cooperating on an integrated, model-based platform, iTWO will now be developed further to a 6D Big Data Platform supporting model-based Facility Management processes as well. The cooperative goal is to plan the construction projects with regard to quality, time, and cost for investment and maintenance at a virtual level before starting with the actual building work and to support the usage of a building after its completion on an end-to-end basis in the cloud. Dr. Hans-Peter Sanio, CTO of RIB Software AG: "With our iTWO 6D Big Data cloud platform our customers are able to handle Project- and Facility Management processes online and make decisions in real time. The access to the data and their processing takes place via desktop applications in the browser or over mobile apps such as our iTWO 6D Control Tower app for project and maintenance controlling or Docia's Quick capture app to record onsite defects for quality assurance and inspections on smartphones and tablets."
