Page 2: Graphisoft's Success

Unprecedented SatisfactionIn a 2008 survey of user satisfaction with both Graphisoft and

ArchiCAD, 62% indicated they were either very satisfied or

delighted. These kinds of results are unheard of in the design

software industry.

Resultsover the years, ArchiCAD users have produced literally millions

of great buildings around the world. Although “better, faster and

cheaper” is a well worn cliché, this is exactly what happens when

our users deploy ArchiCAD into their workflow. In addition, users

find that they can win more business with ArchiCAD. The versatility

of this Virtual Building solution enables users to create great

designs for buildings and their interiors. These include residential,

commercial and institutional buildings such as schools, hospitals,

theaters, performing arts centers and more. The results in the

“Millions of Great Buildings” section speak for themselves.

Your Next Generation Employeesperhaps the biggest concern that principals in most firms have when making

a technology shift is how to find trained staff. To address these needs, starting

in 2006, we introduced the most ambitious education program in the design

software industry to insure that every student and teacher has access to

ArchiCAD’s rich array of interactive self-led learning material and instructor

led curriculum material. In addition, www.architectsjury.com is a place where

students post their work and get judged by other students. All of this is on a

no-charge basis. our database instantly helps our customers identify students

who are interested in participating in internships, a perfect opportunity for

firms to try before they hire. Many of these students are quickly hired by

firms when they graduate. Today, thousands of schools all over the planet are

teaching ArchiCAD and the numbers continue to grow.

An Expert at Your SideFor over 20 years, Graphisoft has built an extremely

competent network of value added resellers who

have a single focus - making users successful.

Graphisoft VArs are typically architects with years of

experience in design and construction. Because of

this, they understand the user perspective and the

opportunities and challenges the firms face in moving

to BIM. Graphisoft VArs customize training and support programs for individual client needs and are side-by-side with users

during the critical start-up phase. In addition, our program of Graphisoft executive Sponsors also insure that firms with complex

project requirements get the full attention and support they require to be successful.

Self-learning Before and Afterone of the biggest concerns firms have before making the switch to a new application is how

to use it and how to continue to make progress in the learning process. To address this, we

introduced the BIM experience Kit learning Studio. This is a series of 5 comprehensive voice

led interactive learning modules that are available through download and DVD at no charge.

Fundamental concepts of this material are, learn by doing,

learn in small chunks and learn gradually. The learning

Studio has received very high marks by users worldwide.

These award winning learning modules have earned prestigious international awards for

Best Workforce Training Solutions and Best Interactive Multimedia Training.

An Expert in Your Organization The Graphisoft registered Consultant program, with its

Graphisoft developed methodology, helps mid-size and large

firms make the transition to BIM while maintaining demanding

client schedules and providing high customer satisfaction.

not only are registered Consultants available to share their

best practice know-how for an office to adopt BIM, they are also available as on-site project assistance to serve in roles such as

lead project architect, project architect or BIM Manager on a short, or medium term basis. So if you are adding to the team as

you are making the switch in your office design practices, why not go with someone who brings a wealth of knowledge that can

be transferred to the rest of the team.

ArchiCAD was created by architects for architects to support the complete process, from design through production. What sets ArchiCAD apart is:

FreedomThe design process is very individual and ArchiCAD supports your approach to design. From exploring design concepts to the production of large quantities of drawings, ArchiCAD provides the flexibility to design in a workflow that is best for your process. The perfect balance of 3D and 2D in the workflow varies from firm-to-firm and individual-to-individual and ArchiCAD supports this elegantly. ArchiCAD’s support for both pC and MAC provides you even more freedom to work in the environment best suited for you.

ProductivityThe facts are clear. In a survey of 3,000 ArchiCAD users, our users achieve an average of 39% productivity increase and a 12% increase in profit as a result of deploying ArchiCAD. 77% of respondents said that projects completed in ArchiCAD led to fewer problems in the construction phase and 82% said that clients’ overall satisfaction improved.

PerformanceUtilization of multiprocessors as well as our support for new 64 bit technology and team file sharing make ArchiCAD capable of extremely large model handling and dramatically more effective collaboration. Teams can collaborate almost instantly across the office, across the country and across the world.

Attention to Local Design Needsover Graphisoft’s history, we have paid careful attention to unique country requirements in terms of workflow, standards, content and language. This enables architects to rapidly become productive in a familiar environment. It also enables Graphisoft to synthesize these local needs into powerful global solutions.

Open PlatformIn the heterogeneous world of design through construction where best in class applications differ from country to country, it has always been Graphisoft’s strategy to offer the most open and easy to connect to platform in the design software industry. Graphisoft has been a member of the International Alliance for Interoperability (IAI) since 1996, adhering to its Industry Foundation Classes (IFC). In addition, ArchiCAD supports a broad array of industry standard file formats including pDF, DWG and many others. For users, it means that they can easily employ and collaborate with users of the best global and local application for structural, mechanical, energy and other applications critical to the design through construction process.
