UK software providers wins contract to provide IT for Gates Foundation headquarters construction
03 Jul 2008
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has chosen BIW Technologies, a UK software as a service (SaaS) provider, to support the design and construction of its Seattle headquarters.
BIW software will be used in the first phases of the 15-year campus buildings project and has already been deployed to support the submittal and approval of drawings.
This project marks the start of a geographical expansion for BIW, said chief executive Colin Smith
“We have already built a strong operation working for customers across Europe and the Middle East, and we were looking to establish a presence in North America," he said.
"This project, won in the face of competition from other global firms, demonstrates that the BIW platform can be readily adapted to support large and complex schemes working to US standards and processes.”
