Apropos to the season, new things are coming to life here at Newforma. Inside our offices, we’re putting the finishing touches on Newforma® Project Center Fifth Edition, our most compelling version yet. And on the roof of our New Hampshire office building, a pair of peregrine falcons has started their own 2008 edition, as well. See pictures by clicking the links below!

In "Take the nightmare out of managing your email," Associate Editor Jeff Yoders reports that AEC firms are under pressure to manage the information flooding their offices. Technology solutions tend to focus on contractors, not on architecture and engineering firms, and enterprise content management solutions are pricey and not a good fit. Quotes by OWP/P CIO Joseph Talamantez bring the story to life.
The peregrine cam is back online for 2008
Photos reveal that the peregrine falcons who nest on the roof of Newforma’s Manchester office building have laid two eggs as of this release of The Newformant newsletter. The Manchester peregrine pair was the first to successfully nest in an urban setting in New Hampshire, Maine or Vermont. Two video cameras donated to the Audubon Society allow birders to view the nest box throughout the breeding season, which lasts until mid-June when the chicks take their first flights.
