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.[1][2] 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.[3]

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.[4] 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.[5]

In November 2011, the company was acquired from Sword by UK-based IDOX plc for £11.6m.[6] 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.
