AVAware Launches Video Production
|
AVAware is proud to announce the formation of our in-house video production team
As part of our ongoing effort to develop the most effective demonstration and training resources possible, AVAware has recently established a new content group within the company. This talented team consisting of writers, graphic designers, animators and editors will be responsible for the creation of a variety of new learning resources.
In addition to newly updated documentation and online resources, AVAware has begun using video as a means to demonstrate new products and product features. If a picture is truly worth a "thousand words", then a video should improve on that by an order of magnitude.
To be clear, these will not be the typical software developers training fare, which normally consisting of a monotonous screen capture and a stammering voice over. As always, the goal is to elevate our products to the highest possible level of quality and professionalism. To that end we have committed to delivering videos with the same level of production quality and attention to detail that we give to our software products.
AVAware is launching this initiative with short videos that supplement the popular "Quick Tips" featured in our newsletter - beginning with this month.

AVAware staff is Helping to Build a 'Mountain of Toys' This Holiday Season
|
|
The Toy Mountain Campaign is an annual holiday drive held in coordination with the Salvation Army, Bell Media and other corporate sponsors. Now in its 23rd year, Toy Mountain has provided toys to countless families in need enabling their children to share in the joy of the holiday season.
In the months of November and December, Canadians across the country are challenged to "Help build a mountain of toys!" as the campaign is featured on CTV's national news broadcast.
In a departure from the usual gift-buying office traditions like "Secret Santa", the AVAware team has chosen to initiate a new tradition to celebrate the holiday season. Instead of buying gifts for each other, everyone decided to purchase children’s toys on behalf of Toy Mountain.

AVAware Celebrates 22 Years!

AVAware's current facility
2010 - present

December 2018 brings with it a landmark moment in AVAware’s history. Twenty two years ago, on the 12th of December 1996, AVAware was born... well, incorporated anyway. AVAware was originally founded by the current President, Paul Kirsch and a gentleman by the name of Steve Rendulic. Rendulic was a veteran of the architectural openings industry, having spent many years working with a competing software developer. Motivated by a desire to develop more technologically "current" software for the industry, he enlisted the aid of his co-founder, a software engineer with extensive experience in developing line-of-business applications for several industry segments. Together they began AVAware with a vision to sincerely establish new standards of quality for both software development and customer support.
AVAware made their debut in the architectural openings industry with the introduction of a revolutionary new product... AVAcad. AVAcad is the first and only CAD application specifically designed for architectural openings. In addition to providing detailers the means to create CAD-quality elevations in seconds, AVAcad launched a new era of technology in the industry with its ability to "disassemble" elevations and generate fully priced material lists – all automatically.
Not long after the release of AVAcad, AVAware released 'AVAproject' – an innovative piece of software that would forever change the way take-offs and estimates would be done for years to come!

64-bit Compatibility
64-bit operating systems have become the new standard, due to 32-bit operating systems reaching their limit with respect to the computer hardware they can support.
