New TurboFloorPlan 3D Home & Landscape v15 Released

June 23rd, 2010 by Millie Smith

Dozens of New & Improved Tools for Easier 3D Home Design

Plymouth, UK June 2010 – Leading software reseller Software Paradise is pleased to announce that IMSI®/Design, the developer of the No. 1 best-selling CAD in retail, TurboCAD, announced the latest version of its Home Design Software product line. The TurboFloorPlan® product line offers 3D design tools perfect for home design, remodels, kitchen and bath design, landscaping and deck projects.

TurboFloorPlan Home and Landscape Deluxe v15 and Pro v15 contain many new features and productivity improvements, including:

New Schedule Tools – Door, Window and Room Region schedules make it easier to create detailed construction documents. Save time by automatically generating accurate door and window schedules, including markers. When you change your windows or doors, the schedules automatically update.

Improved Roof Modification Tools – Two major improvements make roof design easier than ever:

  • Move Edge, now allows you to adjust the support height of your roof so the slope of the roof can be extended or retracted as the support is moved.
  • Match Plane will force the secondary plane that runs in the same direction to be matched.

New Room Dimension and Polygon Hatch Tools – Communicate construction details more precisely and quickly with these design productivity enhancements.

Improved Landscape Paths – TurboFloorPlan makes it easy to create driveways and pathways to navigate through lush gardens and lawns. Now, it’s even easier to set the precise placement of these paths because they are now constrained, or fixed to their original placement.

Improved SketchUp File Import – TurboFloorPlan has now extended its file format support to include import from the popular Google SketchUp v7 application.

Bob Mayer, COO of IMSI/Design states: “With millions of FloorPlan users world-wide, our new TurboFloorPlan is simply the easiest and fastest way for home enthusiasts and do-it-yourselfers to bring design visions to life.”

  • TurboFloorPlan Deluxe v15 is now available for £28.82 ex VAT from Software Paradise: www.softwareparadise.co.uk/products/TurboFloorPlan_3D_Home_and_Landscape_Deluxe

Plymouth, UK May 2010 – Leading IT B2B reseller Software Paradise has been appointed by Speedlingua to resell its solutions in the UK. Speedlingua’s unique and innovative technology uses scientific audio-phonology rules to make learning new languages easier, quicker and more effective.

Speedlingua patented software opens the ear to the frequencies of a language and modifies pronunciation almost instantaneously, resulting in fast and considerable improvement of comprehension and oral expression.

Software Paradise appointed as UK reseller of Computrace by Absolute Software

February 4th, 2010 by Millie Smith

It’s estimated that the average cost of a data breach is £4.1 million pounds[1]

Plymouth, UK May 2010 – Leading IT B2B reseller Software Paradise has been appointed by Absolute® Software to resell Absolute’s Computrace® solution in the UK. Absolute Software is the world leader in tracking, managing and protecting digital assets for better data protection, easier IT asset management and managed computer theft recovery.

Computrace by Absolute Software allows central management of IT assets within a single interface. With Computrace, IT administrators can easily identify any computers that have gone missing, enforce software policies, remotely delete any sensitive data and produce an audit log of deleted files to help prove compliance measures. In the event of a laptop theft, the Absolute Theft Recovery Team will forensically mine the stolen computer to find out who has it and what they are doing with it. After pinpointing the exact location of the stolen device, they then work with local law enforcement to physically recover the computer.

Laptops, mobile phones and other portable devices have become indispensible tools in the modern business world. As businesses have become more mobile, they use these tools to share and access data. Failure to control and protect data can lead to fines of up to £500,000[2] for serious data breaches, not to mention the damaged corporate reputation which can take years to repair.

Data and computer theft has increasingly been the subject of press interest, with reports in recent years like the MOD laptop stolen from a McDonalds, the loss of child benefit discs containing 25 million people’s details and the numerous Primary Care Trust data breaches. Some examples from recent months:

  • Warwickshire County Council had two unencrypted and unsecured laptops stolen and lost a memory stick containing personal information of students and staff from two schools.
  • Personal details of 9k students on memory sticks and CDs stolen from a house in North London.

These examples demonstrate the need for improved management and security for mobile devices. With the obvious growth in stolen data, companies need to ensure they’re protected with an effective solution like Computrace.

Kingsley Bishop, General Manager of Software Paradise commented: “We are delighted to have added Computrace to our portfolio of business solutions. Laptop theft and data loss is a real danger facing businesses today and we feel that Computrace addresses this problem perfectly.”
