COLUMBIA, MD – Nemetschek Vectorworks, Inc. today announced the launch of Vectorworks Cloud Services in the UK, Ireland, Denmark, Portugal and Spain. Vectorworks Cloud Services provides greater convenience, collaboration and freedom for users to access their designs from any location, at any time. It is available exclusively for members of the company’s software subscription program, Vectorworks Service Select, and is initially offered as a free service.
“We are pleased to offer the benefits of cloud computing directly to our UK customers through Vectorworks Cloud Services,” said Martyn Horne, product development manager at Computers Unlimited, the Vectorworks distributor for the UK and Ireland. “Coupled with the new mobile app, Vectorworks Nomad, this capability adds a useful and new dimension to the Vectorworks workflow and product portfolio.”
This initial Cloud Services offering allows users of Vectorworks software to access and share files and make design decisions from any location. Changes to users’ Vectorworks files will be automatically synchronized to their private cloud storage, allowing them to browse, annotate and share their designs from web-enabled devices using the Vectorworks Nomad mobile application.
Vectorworks Cloud Services also saves time by freeing up desktop computing power. Creating client presentations with desktop-design software often requires a significant amount of user investment to coordinate, monitor and wait while resources consume the desktop CPU. Vectorworks Cloud Services provides a cloud-based workflow, shifting calculations needed to generate sections, elevations, renderings and Building Information Modeling (BIM) data from the desktop to the cloud.
Vectorworks Cloud Services was launched in the United States and Canada on April 2, 2012 as a free trial.
