The server box contains the ARCHOFFICEMAN software which
is intelligently integrated with the chatting system.
This management software was designed after 25 years
of experience in actual architects's practice. The founder/CTO
of Syncspace had his own architectural practice. So he had directly
experienced the need for some kind of "bot" which will help deal with files
and people in the office. That gave birth to ARCHOFFICEMAN. It is totally
agnostic to the software you may have in the office. i.e. It can manage
ALL kinds of files
The ARCHOFFICEMAN server is also the engine that allows each private
server to connect (without loss of privacy) to the "SPANSPACE"
network. It is also the system that allows other players from
the building industry to connect to your server, and leave
useful commercial messages into properly organized channels inside
your own private chat system
TAD is the world's only space based BIM (Building Information Modeler)
This was given birth in the founder's former architectural practice
Sabu Francis & Associates
The TAD Server is the server component that intelligently collects
all the data made in the soon to-be released desktop client designing
software TAD Designer Whenever you are ready, this new kind
of BIM software can easily be integrated into your office
The TAD Server ensures that the design data is ALWAYS in your control.
As the server machine is totally dedicated to your office, there is no
way your data can be seen by others unless you chose to.
THe TAD Server also allows simultaneous collaborative designing. If ever
you were to appoint architects from different locations, you can allow
selectively --as per your setting -- access to only those data you want
them to work collaboratively
All servers sold from here would automatically get an account at
the SPANSPACE network. The SPANSPACE network is a worldwide network
of architects and related professionals.
There are two further benefits that the SPANSPACE network would
give you:
GitLab is an open-source file management server which uses the industry
standard GIT version control system. It also has a very
powerful and neat issue tracker. You can easily create issues that
arise in your projects; assign them to your staff and keep track on
who is doing what. You can set the severity of the issues and many other
functionalities.
This GitLab server has been setup by us, and tweaked so that all the settings
work for you. No additional batteries needed
The open-source MatterMost is a rugged chat system
that follows latest industry standards for user interface.
Now instead of having a separate Whatsapp
group for each project; (and then forgetting to remove
some person who should not be in that chat, or the messages
are silently forwarded to some other place) you decide
how exactly how your private chat system works
Again, we have taken this open-source chat system and configured
it to work exactly to the way we believe how an architect's office
should work.
Some industry channels in this chat system have been pre-created by us for
you. They are like "rooms" into which commercial messages from the rest
of the building industry (suppliers, contractors, builders, vendors ...)
would get magically deposited. Now this is NOT spam. All architects need
such messages, and have always pined for a way to organize the brochures,
rate cards that these people give us. Now here is a neat way
Moreover... you actually get PAID for each message that comes into these
channels
This box contains secure-FTP software activated too. Your office staff
can decide to even work from remote locations. They can easily get to their
data using the private tunnel through this secure FTP system. Again to make
the matter really simple, we have tweaked and configured it for you so that
you don't need any technical expertise to use this.
For example; an employee may be pregnant and may be working from home for
a few months. She just have to download and install the free open-source
WinSCP software. Then, she can easily access the sFTP from her laptop and
magically the data will appear in her laptop. Double click on the file
there, and it would get opened in the relevant application. Of course, she
would be connected to the office via the MatterMost private chat system
We have installed a special API engine, that would very carefully release
portfolio material that you can then choose to announce to the rest of the
world. As we all know, there are many architect portfolio collection portal
all over the world. Instead of sending your portfolio to each and everyone
our webhooks ensures that only the data YOU want to send across would be
made available to those sites
The API has considerable other strengths too. We are continuously improving
it and you would see more and more functionality. Feel free to tell us
what kind of functions you would need. If you are a geeky architect
like our founder/CTO (Sabu Francis) you could easily program more capabilities
into this box
We are continuously improving the server software installed.
Each server leased from us would be continuously tweaked for
performance. We are on the constant prowl to add more and more
goodies into the machine, and surely you would see a pleasant
surprise every once a while. We tweak each server for one year
without changing the rates
For example; very soon we would give a simple website publishing
system of your own. Currently, we thought that this feature is
not needed, as many architect use external websites of their own
Each server by us would be supported by 1 hour of phone service per month,
webinars and also web-support (Open 12 hour a day). Our website chatting
system would almost be always available 24x7 hours, just in case you want to
contact us in an emergency
Note: The features mentioned on this page may get modified from time to time.
