What you get when you acquire PROCAD

At PROCAD, we believe in the elegance of simplicity. It has been our experience as software users ourselves, that whenever we looked for a software solution, it always ended up costing more than initially advertised. Most of our customers want to avoid sticker-shock when all options and additional service costs are added up.

So when you order any PROCAD application, you get all the necessary components to get started with your design. We don’t have hidden fees or expensive options that significantly increase the cost of software ownership.

You can enrol in our Subscription Plan to cover all of your technical support and free upgrades. If you decide to opt out, simply pay for technical support and upgrades if and when you need them. We will assist you in choosing the best product and services to fit your business.

With PROCAD, in addition to acquiring good software, you will also enjoy prompt technical support, free software updates and timely upgrades to ensure optimal operation from your software.

You have our promise to work hard in helping you get the most out of your PROCAD software.

All the best in 2012!

Season’s Greetings

Season’s greetings! As another year comes to a close, we’re looking forward to some rest & relaxation during the festive season and to an exciting 2012.

Despite global economic challenges, stiffer competition and tighter capital, we made it through together. PROCAD was right beside you and helped make your design projects more efficient. We added PapriCAD 2D to our lineup, which adds a greater level of affordable productivity to your design environment.

PapriCAD 3D is the next product in the pipeline. It will leverage our 3D technology with included AutoCAD® OEM. This means your drawings are fully portable using industry standard [DWG] files. Watch for the PapriCAD 3D release early 2012.

We wish you all a safe and happy holidays!

Ho ho ho,
The PROCAD Team

What Does PapriCAD Mean for Your Bottom Line?

One of PROCAD’s core objectives has been to provide our customers with a cost-effective solution for their piping and electrical drafting needs. Towards this end, we have endeavored to embed the CAD platform directly into our modules.

We had discussions with Autodesk® to provide us with embedded AutoCAD® for years, and only recently, this opportunity was realized. We jumped on this opportunity which led to the creation of the PapriCAD® line of products.

PapriCAD 2D is the first product to be released. It replicates all of 2D DESIGNER applications with the added bonus of AutoCAD® OEM embedded right into it. This package provides a  complete solution in a single purchase and combined installation process. But equally important is the cost-savings that we have achieved through acquiring AutoCAD OEM from Autodesk – and we’re passing these savings on to you, our customers.

It would be worth your while to take a look at the sample price comparison below. It paints a clear picture of the tremendous savings your company will realize in future purchases of new or upgraded software.


* Based on standalone licenses. AutoCAD OEM included in PapriCAD products. Prices in US dollars.

In this comparison, we just showed the savings when purchasing PapriCAD P&ID package vs. purchasing AutoCAD only, and vs. AutoCAD P&ID. The saving are as significant when you choose other PapriCAD applications: Piping Suite, Plans & Elevations, Isometrics and Electrics.

Facebook

After attending a conference at Mount Royal University, it was amazing to find out that nearly 600,000 adults in Calgary are on Facebook. There are more than 750 million active users worldwide! That being the case, I think our users in Calgary and beyond will find this a convenient forum to connect with each other and share some of their experiences with PROCAD and fellow pipers. This is also a great place to share events and news as it pertains to our industry.

Twitter

We promise not to tweet about what we had for lunch, or what the weather is like. Rather, we will put out interesting tidbits on products, promos, events and news.

New Look, New Products and New Energy

PROCAD has a new look

At PROCAD, we don’t let the grass grow under our feet. In June, we launched our new website with fresh branding, new graphics and improved site navigation to give you easy access to the information you are looking for. We hope you love the updates. Let us know what you think.

Our newest product is here!

In January, we released PapriCAD® 2D software that is similar to our popular 2D DESIGNER®. You may be asking, “So, what’s the benefit of this new software?” Well, PapriCAD 2D brings you all the features of Piping Suite PLUS it comes conveniently bundled with AutoCAD® OEM. This makes PapriCAD 2D a complete piping design solution that is reliable and saves you money!

What’s next?

To give you a sneak peek on upcoming products, we are currently working on SpoolCAD™ software expected to release early next year.
SpoolCAD is an adaptation of our isometric drafting application with the added functionality of weld identification and counting – an ideal package for fabrication shops. SpoolCAD will come complete with AutoCAD® OEM – making it a single logical choice for exceptional value to pipe fabricators.
