OMNIX International, a leading regional technology service
provider and integrator in the Middle East, announced that it is eyeing a 50 per
cent regional growth in the CAD division in 2008. The company's longstanding
alliance with Autodesk, the world leader in 2D and 3D design software for the
manufacturing, building, and media and entertainment markets, is expected to further strengthen its aims to leverage the growing demand for robust design applications.
In line with this, the companies have teamed up to highlight the immediate impact of
the Autodesk 2009 software on the architecture industry at the recently concluded
'Autodesk Experience Tour' in Dubai, which witnessed a showcase of the new features
and functionalities of the AutoCAD 2009, in addition to that of Revit Architecture
2009 solutions.
The AutoCAD 2009 is a portfolio of industry specific solutions for conceptual
design, drafting and detailing, which are designed to improve the output of veteran
users while allowing new users to become productive more quickly. The latest
software solutions feature a user-friendly interface that allows users of all levels
to produce competitive design ideas and compelling presentations. AutoCAD 2009
software is certified for the 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft Windows Vista operating
systems, helping assure that the product meets Microsoft Windows Vista standards for
compatibility, reliability and security. Following its launch in mid-March, AutoCAD
2009 joins Autodesk's wide range of solutions, which are being utilised in the
construction of prestigious projects in and around Middle East.
"Our 19 years of experience in CADD as a pioneer in implementing and distributing
AutoCAD in the Middle East has made us a valuable partner for high profile clients
within the region's booming construction market," said Dr. Jayant M. Deshpande,
Director, CAD Division, OMNIX. "We have successfully built a strong reputation among
companies operating in the fields of architecture, engineering, geographical
information systems and land development through our successful distribution of
Autodesk products in the region, and with the launch of the updated versions of
their solutions, we are confident of achieving our expectations for 2008."
The latest AutoCAD 2009 is complemented by the 2009 Revit platform for BIM, which
features improvements to each of the purpose-built solutions for architects and
engineers. It keeps information coordinated, up-to-date and accessible in an
integrated digital environment, giving project teams a clear overall vision of
their designs and streamlining the decision-making process. The new update to the
2009 Revit Platform includes Revit Architecture 2009, Revit Structure 2009 and
Revit MEP 2009. Autodesk has also launched its 3D modelling technologies that
feature an integrated analysis technology from Robobat, Intelisolve, and
NavisWorks. Autodesk's 2009 BIM solutions help architects, engineers and designers
to make better design decisions earlier in their process, improve project
collaboration and integration between the building design, civil engineering and
construction disciplines.
"The boom in the entire region's real estate industry has been fuelling the demand
for solutions that provide customers with innovation and efficiency in building
design, civil engineering and construction. Our mission is to deliver easy-to-use
applications that help our clients gain competitive advantage and unlimited
opportunities to explore design innovations, while supporting compliance to
environmental standards through our sustainable design solutions. Our partnership
with OMNIX provides us with a significant link to the ever-growing design solutions
market, and we are expecting to continue this fruitful alliance with them as a long
term strategy," Continue.......
