CSG Launches eSERVICES Platform for Free MEDUSA4 Personal
 MOERS,
Germany, Oct 2, 2009 - CAD Schroer Group (CSG), the global engineering
solutions provider, today announced the launch of an eSERVICES platform for
users of the free MEDUSA4 Personal 2D/3D CAD software, signifying an easy
and innovative new licensing concept. Many MEDUSA4 Personal users, aware
that the software restricts drawings to non-commercial use, have enquired
about the possibility of licensing their work for commercial purposes. CAD
Schroer's response is the launch of an online service which automatically
converts drawings into PDF or DXF files, removing restrictive watermarks and
granting the license for commercial use.
"The CSG eSERVICES platform was designed to help users for whom the
commercial version of the MEDUSA4 software may initially be a little out of
reach," says Managing Director Michael Schroer. "It enables them to use the
same professional-grade drafting system, merely paying a small fee for
business use of any resulting designs. We especially hope to empower small
companies and individual contractors during the start-up period, where every
penny counts and CAD software license and maintenance costs may seem
prohibitive."

Responding to a multitude of users
CAD Schroer says, "The CSG eSERVICES website has been designed in
response to enquiries from a large variety of users of the free 2D/3D CAD
system. MEDUSA4 Personal is being used worldwide for the most diverse
projects. There are students who wish to use the software in their research
and send a DXF to their professor, or print a design without watermark from
a PDF. Many use the software for model engineering and other hobbies, some
of which may one day result in patentable inventions, which then require
professional output for the registration process. Still others use the
software for home or garden layouts, and wish to pass the results on to
their architect, or generate a DXF for use in other systems."
It's Only the Beginning
"The approach we took with MEDUSA4 Personal has been borne out by the
positive response we've had," says Michael Schroer. "After all, it was quite
a risk to take a professional grade CAD package with advanced features,
worth thousands of Euros in the commercial realm, and offer it up for free.
Our experience over the past few years has shown that this was absolutely
the right move, as we've gained a whole new user base for our products. Now
it's our job to reassure those users that they won't reach a dead-end when
their needs change. So we've created a low cost, pay-per-result solution to
serve the specific requirements of this new user base. Because the MEDUSA4
Personal community is very large and steadily expanding, the new online
conversion option is only the beginning; we're already planning other
services. We intend to keep expanding our online offering to meet the
growing demands of this community."
