Configura demos new product – CET Designer 3.0 – at NeoCon Cloud-based freedom, everything under one “umbrella” GRAND RAPIDS, MICH., USA—May 2012—Configura demos CET Designer 3.0 at the NeoCon World’s Trade Fair in Chicago this June. CET Designer 3.0 offers major enhancements including the new User-based license model and the addition of MyConfigura, a portal to all of Configura’s cloudbased services. “Our Users will be able to work when they want, where they want,” Configura Training and Support Manager Tracy Lanning said. “Users won’t be tied to a particular computer. They’ll be able to install and use their CET Designer license on as many computers as they want.” CET Designer 3.0, launching June 18, will automatically come with MyConfigura, which is each User’s personal password-protected portal to all of Configura’s cloud-based services. Some Users may have experienced a bit of MyConfigura in beta, developed by Configura in collaboration with CET Designer “power peer” Users. “We’re opening up this portal to all Users,” Marketing Communications Manager Helena Lövgren said. “MyConfigura is like an umbrella under which everything a User needs – from licensing information to current projects, renderings, even videos – can be safely stored, easily accessed and readily shared.” With CET Designer 3.0 + MyConfigura, the User experience is enhanced and simplified: Design, specify, render and order with CET Designer anywhere and go online to Configura.com > MyConfigura to store and share work. The enhancements also make it even easier for Buyers of CET Designer to purchase the software and manage licenses. “CET Designer 3.0 + MyConfigura is next step in making CET Designer a totally integrated, single-tool solution,” Lanning said. Configura’s CET Designer software is a single solution for accurately designing, specifying, creating specials, rendering with photorealism and in video, generating install plans and ordering, for a wide range of contract furniture products. The software lets users focus on space planning and design through intuitive, 2D and 3D drag-and-drop functionality; behind the scenes, the rules-based software handles complex calculations. As an industry-wide solution, it’s used by design, sales, marketing and customer service personnel at commercial furniture dealerships as well as by A&D firms, facilities managers, design students and in-house design departments. ### About the company Configura’s mission is to set the industry standard in software tools for automating, simplifying and speeding sales and order processes.
