Had you heard of SquareClock? Me, neither. First time was during Dassault's conference call last week with financial analysts, when he brought up SquareClock, first casually and then more intensely. But it's not for consumers. Here is what ceo Bernard Charlès had to say:
...if you recall we acquired a company called SquareClock last December. And SquareClock is now going to be renamed and put as part of the 3DVIA product family. This is online under cloud through a browser. You can do 3D design and do what we call 'floor planning.' Very interesting scenario: why so? Because by providing this easy cloud browser-based 3D capabilities, [French retailer] SFR is the most traded that brought people in the store, could themselves do the store planning without even being asked to do it.
On the number of casual users is amazing, because it’s average of three users per store, which almost makes it 3,000 users -- casual users online creating 3D for planning to improve merchandizing. That’s why we bought SquareClock, that’s why we are doing what we call '3DVIA store'.
I’m going to do '3DVIA store', '3DVIA office' and '3DVIA home'. So, the usage is really, to create reality of 3D usage with that. [I'm] asked very often, "When do you think cloud is going to be a value for 3D design?" This is a good illustration about how it works, and why.
