Germany/Munich, April 19, 2012 – Nemetschek Allplan, leading international providers of BIM solutions, and mapolis.com, network and navigator for architecture, construction and real estate, have formed a strategic alliance. The aim of the partnership is to provide Allplan users with the rapid and direct possibility of presenting their projects and references on the Internet and exchanging details with potential clients, planning partners, or other colleagues. As part of a wide-ranging package of resources and services, the concept of “Designed by Allplan” can be created, for example, an interactive reference database with Allplan projects from all over the world. And with “Working with Allplan” planning agencies working with the BIM software can also be provided with an introduction.

As part of the development of our Social Media Initiative, together with mapolis we are gaining an additional channel of communication which is also very broad in scope. Our users have the ideal forum here to present themselves, as well as networking worldwide with customers and project organizers, as well as with other planners and companies that actually carry out the work,” says Peter Mehlstäubler, CEO of Nemetschek Allplan GmbH. He goes on: “And with mapolis, we have a powerful Internet partner at our side with strong and influential connections in the world of real estate, and therefore also with our target customer group.”

Wolfgang Moderegger, Chair of mapolis AG, has this to say: “With Nemetschek Allplan we have been able to gain one of the most important CAD manufacturers of all, with more than 65,000 customers worldwide, as our co-operation partner. Our network will benefit not only from the know-how of the new users, but also from the wide variety of the projects which can be achieved with the Allplan CAD system. With our platform, Allplan users can reach a wide public, as well as search engines”.

Allplan & mapolis: international Network for Planners
Whether as architect, structural engineer, or facility manager, the close co-operation between Nemetschek Allplan and mapolis offers every planner the opportunity of introducing themselves and their projects on an international network. With the concept of “Working with Allplan,” planning agencies that work with Allplan CAD software can create personal performance profiles. In the reference database “Designed by Allplan,” Allplan projects can be made available with pictures, descriptions, and profiles of all the project partners involved. Anyone who is looking for a particular building can then obtain a virtual image of the project with a whole range of cross-references, such as the individual project services, the parties involved in the construction, or the contact persons concerned.
