Germany/Munich, November 9, 2012 – Munich-based software vendor Nemetschek Allplan wins twice at the Architects' Darling® Award organized by Heinze GmbH in Celle. Nemetschek Allplan went away with two treasured phoenix statues, winning the gold awards for both the best architect software and the best social media presence.
The winners in 21 different product areas were announced at the award ceremony as part of the "Celle Business Days" industry event, which drew leading players in the construction industry to the small town of Celle in Lower Saxony on November 6. Sven Larsen, general manager of Nemetschek Allplan:
"We are delighted to receive these two awards and see them not only as recognition of our work, but also as an incentive. We want to provide great tools for those involved in the design, construction and management of buildings to help them master their tasks successfully. Social networks are helping us to identify customer requirements more quickly and incorporate these in software development and customer support."
The architecture software award is the result of the largest architect survey in Germany this year: A total of 2,456 architects rated more than 200 manufacturers and brands from various product areas in the construction industry.
One particular highlight was the social media award by the panel of experts consisting of communication specialists from science and practice, as well as renowned representatives from top international architecture offices. The panel awarded "Best Social Media Presence" to Nemetschek Allplan.
