Japan's Forum 8 to Sell Nemetschek AG Products in Asia
 MUNICH,
Germany, Jun 4, 2009 – Japanese IT solution provider Forum 8 now acting as
distributor for 3D planning and design software Allplan for architects and
engineers in Asia. The two companies recently signed the agreement in Tokyo.
The partnership is an important step towards expanding international
business and injects further impetus into Nemetschek Allplan’s growth
strategy.
Forum 8 is an Asian provider of IT solutions and services for the
construction industry and among other things develops its own 3D solution (UC-win)
for road construction. The company, which has its headquarters in Tokyo and
other branches in Japan and China, employs 150 people and its customers
include more than 12,000 design offices.
According to the agreement with Nemetschek Allplan, Forum 8 will
distribute Allplan Architecture and Allplan Engineering in Japan. The
solution supports the entire planning and design process – from the first
architectural design and construction cost planning through to general
arrangement and reinforcement planning. There are plans to open up further
markets such as China as of 2010. In the first few weeks, Forum 8 had
already enjoyed sales success and won numerous new customers.
The market calls for BIM
“The distribution of Allplan in Japan gathered much media attention and
was sensationally reported by Nikkei BP as being the ‘5th super fleet of
BIM’. The awareness and demand for BIM solutions is increasing rapidly and
we are happy to be in a position to be a solution provider for designers and
engineers. We would like to nurture the market and introduce the utilization
of 3D in design field and we hope that Allplan can be the best solution not
only in Europe but also in Japan and other Asian countries“, says Yuji Ito,
Director of Forum8 Co., Ltd.
“Allplan is currently the leading platform for integrated planning in the
construction process in Europe. The highest quality in planning as well as
transparent costs are requirements that are more relevant than ever today in
every market. We are now meeting this demand in Asia as well”, explains
Peter Mehlstäubler, CEO and general manager of Nemetschek Allplan. “With
this cooperation, we have gained an experienced partner with excellent
market and industry knowledge. We are looking forward to a very successful
partnership”, says Mehlstäubler.
