June 9, 2003—Graphisoft, a provider of design and building information management solutions, recently announced an agreement with HP Hungary to cooperate in the development, sales and distribution of building automation, maintenance/management software and services.
According to the terms of the agreement, HP Hungary and Graphisoft will develop custom solutions for clients by integrating their softwares, BuilDog and ArchiFM. “BuilDog,” HP’s intelligent building automation system, is used by several Hungarian facilities for building management, security systems, and services management. ArchiFM, Graphisoft’s facility management software, is used by numerous Hungarian and international facilities for integrated and efficient space, asset, inventory, lease, and maintenance management, and is ranked among the Top 10 software solutions by CADALYST, the US industry magazine. By linking BuilDog and ArchiFM, the two companies will be able to provide solutions and services tailored to their customers’ specific needs.
As a pilot project, the two companies are cooperating in the reconstruction of Nyregyhza College. The project links Graphisoft ArchiFM’s integrated facility management database modules with the intelligent building functions (HVAC, maintenance automation, security, communicational network) developed by HP. The result is a comprehensive building automation, information, and facility management system.
