Sword CTSpace

Sword CTSpace was an engineering content management and project collaboration software vendor headquartered in Brentford, UK. Sword CTSpace’s products included Software as a Service (SaaS) or cloud-based solutions and on-premise or self-hosted solutions. Its software helped companies involved in construction and engineering operations to manage their electronic engineering documents and data. Its products also included project collaboration, process management, and records management features.

Sword CTSpace was founded in 2009 as a merger of the CTSpace (itself the result of mergers: in 2006 between construction collaboration software companies BuildOnline and Citadon, and in 2008, ViaNovus) and Cimage business units of the France-based business software company Sword Group. Sword CTSpace’s website lists single offices in the UK, France, Germany, and United Arab Emirates, and five offices in North America: in San Francisco, Houston, Chicago, New York, and Calgary.

In November 2011, the company was acquired from Sword by UK-based IDOX plc for £11.6m. The "Sword-" prefix was immediately dropped, and IDOX merged the CTSpace business with its McLaren Software subsidiary, under the McLaren Software brand, forming a larger engineering document management, control and collaboration software company.
