GRAPHISOFT expands BIMcloud as a Service to Global Availability—Free 60 Day Emergency Access

Hundreds of thousands of architects around the globe are being asked to work from home during this global COVID-19 pandemic. To help the AEC industry cope technically with this emergency most CAD and BIM companies with cloud technology are offering solutions to their customers.

GRAPHISOFT for its part is offering BIMcloud as a service (a software as a service, specifically) to its users and offering up 60-free days for users who will need the service but currently don’t use it.

A Best-in-Class Solution

GRAPHISOFT has worked to expand the availability of its BIMcloud technology as a service working worldwide. This will immediately help architects, no matter what country they are working in, reconfigure their project teams for working from home during this global health crisis.

BIMcloud as a Service is a new GRAPHISOFT initiative to help architects work remotely in the present environment. The company is offering a free 60-day period in which to utilize the system.

“To help our users adjust to working together while at home, we are offering free 60-day emergency access to BIMcloud as a Service to all commercial ARCHICAD users worldwide,” said Huw Roberts, CEO, GRAPHISOFT.

“Previously available only in a limited number of markets, we are glad to have been able to quickly expand availability through a network of regional data centers around the world — to assure high performance while meeting the needs of our users everywhere,” said Roberts. “This reliable and secure solution to empower remote team collaboration is helping our user community maintain business continuity in the current environment.”

According to Francisco Behr, Principal, Behr Browers Architects, “BIMcloud as a Service is exactly what architects need to transition to working from home without missing a beat. The IT setup was fast and easy.  We’re currently working on several large projects and the collaboration among our colleagues and partners has been very smooth across the board.”
