ProjectMatrix is now Teknion Certified

ProjectMatrix received notification from Teknion on Friday July, 24th 2009 that we have been officially certified. Below is the email sent to us by the Director of Business Technology.

---------

I am happy to announce that after exhaustive testing of the ProjectMatrix specification tools, the Teknion team has reached a unanimous decision to CERTIFY your software tools for use by any Teknion dealer.
I will work with Teknion's Marketing group to develop an official communication plan to advise the Teknion dealers but in the meantime feel free to use this e-mail as proof of Teknion certification.

We at Teknion are confident that any remaining minor issues will be resolved by ProjectMatrix as quickly as possible and that ProjectMatrix is committed to working with Teknion and our Dealers worldwide to continue development of the software tools.


Best Regards and Congratulations

Vince Guagliano
Director, Business Technology

AutoCAD 2010

We have been getting a lot of emails and calls about when we will support AutoCAD 2010. ProjectMatrix is activly working on supporting 2010 as soon as possible. We are hoping to have BETA installs ready to go by the end of July. If you email support@projectmatrix.com we will add you to the list to recieve BETA copies as it becomes available.

Videos, Blogs, and Forums....Oh My!

ProjectMatrix has always tried to stay on the leading edge of technology. However, recently, our website has begun to lack the latest internet fads and technology. We are working hard to update our site more frequently. This will include the addition of updated videos on tutorials, new features and FAQs. We will also be providing a ProjectMatrix Blog and Forum. Some of these features will allow you subscribe to our RSS feeds and get updated information as it comes out to your email or iGoogle page. As always we love to hear your feedback and ideas. Keep them coming!

What versions of AutoCAD does ProjectMatrix support?

ProjectMatrix and AutoCAD support:

ProjectMatrix will typically support the last two "R" versions of AutoCAD.

R18-2010 (Coming Soon)
R17-2007, 2008, and 2009 (Full Support)

R15-2000, 2000i, and 2002 (No Support)

*For all R16 versions of AutoCAD we will continue supplying compatible data through the end of the year, but no new features will be included in these version.

NeoCon 2009

NeoCon was success again this year. We just wanted to thank all of you that stopped by our booth this year to visit us. We picked up new dealers, and even several new manufactures that you will be able to access from our downloads shortly. We were very excited to show of the new features and tools that we had, and will be updating the software for downloads soon.

ProjectMatrix Design Suite

The new ProjectMatrix design Suite may sound like a new product, but many potential new users seem a bit confused by having ProjectSpec and ProjectSymbols as two separate products. As most of you know ProjectSpec and ProjectSymbols has always worked together along with ProjectTools. By putting the three products together as the ProjectMatrix Design Suite, new users will have a better understanding of how our products work together. We have a competitor that does the same thing. Their AutoCAD tool and their specification worksheet are sold as a single entity, but are really two separate products. ProjectSymbols, ProjectTools and ProjectSpec will always remain as separate tools, but we will show them on this site as also being bundled together under a single “umbrella” name. We will also be displaying a version of the ProjectMatrix Design Suite for each manufacturer that has product line specific ProjectTools software. As an example, we will have ProjectMatrix Design Suite for AIS, ProjectMatrix Design Suite for Haworth, and ProjectMatrix Design Suite for Teknion. Each listing will show the package of tools for each manufacturer. Why would ProjectSpec stay separate? With the ProjectMatrix site license for ProjectSpec and ProjectSymbols/ProjectTools, the design department would use the Design Suite, but accounting would use only ProjectSpec, as they have no need for an AutoCAD based design tool. ProjectSpec as a standalone tool can be used in accounting, administration, sales and sales administration, and even in shipping/receiving. The great feature this that the dealer only pays a low site license fee for unlimited use in the single dealer location. With current pricing, $2,195 annually is the most a dealer will pay for unlimited use of ProjectSpec. If a dealer has 25 total installations of ProjectSpec, the annual cost of specification is less than $88.00. Now that’s affordable! And because we don’t have hidden version upgrade charges, you know exactly what your true annual cost will be!
