PASADENA, CA, Apr 15, 2016 – Bluebeam, Inc., leading developer of PDF-based annotation and collaboration solutions for document-intensive technical industries, announces the launch of BREAKGROUND, a new quarterly online magazine designed to engage the community of individuals who design, engineer and build the future. The inaugural issue, April 2016, digs into the stories behind the technology and the people changing their space. Volume 1 includes content such as “A Cure For Earthquakes,” “Acing The Hyperloop Midterm,” and “Just Another Tool That Flies.”

Why is Bluebeam, a leading collaboration software company, launching a consumer publication? Over the last 14 years, Bluebeam has become deeply rooted in the architecture, engineering, construction, oil and gas, mining, manufacturing, maritime and utilities industries. Bluebeam hopes to engage this community of tech savvy professionals in a new way with relevant, stylish, sometimes humorous content that lends itself to off-the-clock reading.

“BREAKGROUND features visionaries and entrepreneurs who push their industries forward, and explores what key disruptions to the norm mean to the world at large,” says Richard Lee, CEO & publisher. “Our hope is to relay the stories from our community, back to the community, to inspire cross-industry innovation and change. This first issue is just the beginning of our desire to bring even more valuable content to our customers.”

BREAKGROUND is available for both iPad and iPhone. It can be downloaded from the App Store. Stories can also be found at breakgroundmedia.com.
