AEC Daily Makes European Connection

Leading Continuing Education Provider and Oldest Online Product Library join forces to extend value to AEC community.

BATIMAT, PARIS, FRANCE – November 14, 2005

AEC Daily Corporation, a Delaware Corporation and AEC Info, a division of Docu Group AG in Switzerland, have formed a strategic alliance to integrate their specialties into each other’s websites.

AEC Daily’s building product directory will now be managed by AEC Info. Conversely, AEC Daily’s continuing education program will be integrated into AEC Info. By leveraging each others’ strengths, the two companies will significantly improve the information services they provide to the AEC industry.

AEC Info is the oldest building product directory on the web. Through their parent at the Docu Group AG and their alliance with Reed Elsevier Group PLC, they have the most experience in publishing electronic directories for the construction industry. The combination of the two construction directories will create the most comprehensive building product database in the world.

AEC Daily has become the leader in distance learning by building an educational resource that provides a great variety of quality education, at no cost to the participant, in all areas of the Architectural, Engineering, and Construction industry. With 67 free courses and more coming weekly, the Online Learning Center is one of the most important features of the AEC Daily Corporation. Its current and future courses have been designed to meet all state and professional continuing education requirements.

“We believe that this relationship will strengthen both our positions as world leaders in the AEC industry.” said Jeff Rice, President of AEC Daily. “While we both provide marketing opportunities for building product manufacturers, our respective services are more complimentary than competitive.”

The relationship is already expanding the reach of AEC Daily’s worldwide network. Though AEC Info’s Reed Elsevier connection, AEC Daily is currently working on further expansion in Europe and Australia.
