Graphisoft, a top developer of Building Information Modeling (BIM) software for architecture and engineering, has rolled out a new subscription-based service, Archicad Collaborate. It brings together the award-winning Archicad for architectural design and BIMcloud SaaS for real-time, secure access to shared projects at an attractive and affordable price.
In contrast to other BIM software providers that charge extra for cloud services, Archicad Collaborate makes entry more accessible by including BIMcloud SaaS in the Archicad subscription price through the user-friendly Graphisoft Store.
“Customers demand powerful solutions that are easy to acquire, learn and use,” said Márton Kiss, Vice President of Product Success at Graphisoft. “Archicad Collaborate enables practices to obtain both Archicad and BIMcloud SaaS at a cost that even smaller firms can manage.”
Among the features of Archicad Collaborate are:
- Archicad— a powerful design tool with a highly-regarded, user-friendly interface, making it the most efficient and intuitive BIM software available.
- BIMcloud Software as a Service — users can access their data through a secure cloud platform, enabling quick, flexible, and secure access to shared projects in real-time.
- Exclusive data and collaboration services such as access to Graphisoft Learn courses and training materials; emergency licenses and technical support; Redshift by Maxon, a premium rendering tool; PARAM-O, a parametric object design tool; the Library Part Maker add-on for crafting detailed Library objects; as well as Python API for customised and automated Archicad workflows.
As for the advantages of using Archicad with BIMcloud SaaS, Peter Snellman, Partner and Design Director at Tillberg Design, remarked, “Working on the same Archicad model from different countries, we have fewer problems.”
“With Archicad Collaborate, you can start your project on BIMcloud SaaS, a secure cloud platform built for sharing and collaborating with your team — without additional hardware investments or IT experience,” Márton Kiss expounded. “Using Archicad’s powerful and proven tools, you can design great buildings with your team and share them with customers and clients — anywhere in the world.”
Archicad Collaborate is now available in select markets via the Graphisoft Store. To learn more and subscribe, visit Archicad Collaborate. Graphisoft also provides customers with a choice of licensing options, including perpetual licenses, through your local Graphisoft Partner.
