We are always getting feedback from our 100,000 users on ways to improve our software. Every year we bring out a yearly update or version, this usually comes out between June and July. But in addition to that, there are about 4-6 updates throughout the year of the current version.  

NOVEDGE: Are there emerging sectors you are trying to cover with your programs?

James Sempere:  Risk management, fire safety and personal distancing are hot topics at the moment, pun intended .

NOVEDGE:  Tell us about your timely app for Covid-19?

James Sempere: There is a software we have just developed to help with the pandemic. Our team of engineers has worked on a unique, easy to use, and completely FREE  software called OpenBim COVID 19. This app can be used to generate workplace re-entry plans in any type of business or establishment (both indoor and outdoor). It is also possible to adjust the program with different recommendations. OpenBim COVID 19 is available to anyone and everyone completely free of charge at our Bim Server store.  Here's a video walking you through its basic use.
