This website will soon become a portal. Not only can architects buy a special cloud server from here. But ancillary entities such as contractors, suppliers, etc who are involved with the building industry would also be interested in using this portal

That side of this portal would come up once enough architects take these servers. The special software included in the server also contains a networking component: Architects can send messages to each other -- like a Wikipedia "Time Saver Standards" They can also receive commercial messages from suppliers, contractors, vendors and other such related entities

Currently, we have found it is easy to ensure that only architects from India can join easily. Their registration can easily be checked via the Internet These cloud servers price points are quite low. We do not want non-architects to use them. We will surely welcome non-Indian architects the moment we have a simple verification process for them too

We are serious about giving back to the architect community really affordable and sensible software and hardware. Seriously, there is no catch.

It is cheap because very soon, this portal would also serve supplers, contractors, vendors, builders ... that means: other parts of the architecture industry. We have given you a private chatting system. In that, we have set up "channels" These vendors, suppliers etc. can send you commercial messages and brochures to your office. We charge them per message sent (Like an SMS - this system sends upto 4000 characters in a message). And you get 30% of the money we make. Hence, you make money. We too then make money. It's a win-win

Currently commercial messages (oh, spam!) are flooding your emails. Your email inbox is best for other things you do. We thought long and hard about this

The commercial messages architects receive in the office are not really spam. They are often inconvenient: A persistent sales-rep of some material supplier landing up in the office again and again, with brochures. We do need them -- but possibly not at inconvenient moments.

So when we gave you the private chat system we set up some channels so these messages can be dropped in. They would be seen by EVERYONE having access to the private chat of your office -- which is your office team. The contractors, suppliers etc. are NOT told where their message goes. They just know that it has been delivered to a targetted architect. Unless, of course, you reveal your identity to them

Under no circumstances we would introduce any advertisements into these channels. The commercial messages mentioned here are brochures, rate-cards and such-like. You can always block people who send incorrect messages

Strictly speaking; it is not on your DESKTOP. We named these servers "The Architect's Desktop" as a nod towards TAD; the world's first space based BIM software. The full form of TAD is "The Architect's Desktop" and hence we named the servers too by that name. Nowadays, our BIM solution is called by it short name TAD, anyway. These servers already have the TAD Server component. We would be launching TAD Designer soon. You can enjoy using the world's first space based BIM soon. Data from TAD Designer would also be managed by this server

Our servers does not do ALL the things needed in your office. It handles ONLY the server requirements of the office. Think of this as a dutiful peon standing silently and efficiently in the corner -- handling ALL your file management requirements and many other needs diligently. It is much cheaper too!

You would continue to work mostly the way you used to. Using your laptops, desktops etc. With all you favorite software. The only difference is that all file storage and communication of your office would be via such a server. So it is very easy to adopt such a server for your office. Hardly any learning

There are NO limitations. Files of ALL kinds of software are supported on these servers.You can continue to use existing and conventional CAD (Computer Aided Drafting) software.

Soon we would offer TAD Designer. It is a very low cost -- yet highly efficient space-based BIM software. Our BIM is very different from current approaches. We understand that you could get confused. Hence we are not thrusting that on you now. Once you are comfortable, you can easily integrate TAD Designer into your working too. At that point in time, would not need any other BIM. You would need conventional drafting software such as Autodad, though along with TAD Designer

These servers already has the TAD Server component. So adopting to TAD Designer would be very smooth. We would launch TAD Designer very soon as a separately sold software

If you are worried about the company going down, well firstly; that is an honest question and we will give you an honest answer:

If ever that were to happen; even remotely, we assure you that all the customers would be taken care of. The servers we sell to our customers are from a very large company in Germany. You can continue to use the servers by paying that company their appropriate fees. They would not be charging for the software we had installed in these servers

If you are asking about the software we give you in these servers. We will automagically keep ugrading them for one year. We have over 25 years experience in complex usage of software for architects. We assure you that none of the software will cease to exist or fail to perform for many years. It will surely keep pace with all that is happening in architecture

We are keen to grow the community together. Try any offer free out for 15 days. Once you join we will give you an offer code. Give that code to three other Indian architects. Request them to purchase our servers. We will then give you a credit of three months on your server once all three becomes paid users

This launch offer is only till August 2016
