Vectorworks Cloud Services Launches in the Benelux Region

Nemetschek Vectorworks, Inc. announces the launch of Vectorworks Cloud Services in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. Vectorworks Cloud Services provides greater convenience, collaboration, and freedom for users to access their designs from any location, at any time. All members of the Vectorworks Service Select software subscription program receive access to Vectorworks Cloud Services and five GB of storage capacity.

"We are very excited to be able to offer the Vectorworks Cloud Services for free to all Benelux Vectorworks Service Select members," said Lucas Vandersanden, CEO of Design Express, the Vectorworks distributor in the region. "The advantages of cloud computing and easier collaboration coupled with the new mobile app, Vectorworks Nomad, will meet the needs of many designers and add a cutting-edge dimension to the Vectorworks workflow."

This initial Cloud Services offering allows users of Vectorworks software to access and share files and make design decisions from anywhere. Changes to users' Vectorworks files are 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.

The service 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 as a free trial in the United States and Canada on April 2, 2012; in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Denmark, Portugal, and Spain on May 8, 2012; and in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein on May 29.
