Graphisoft was introduced to the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in 1998 and the Budapest Stock Exchange in 2000, and was purchased by Nemetschek AG (Germany) in 2007. Today, it includes the company‘s global headquarters and hosts several technology companies such as Microsoft, SAP and Canon. The construction of the technology park began in 1998. Graphisoft built a campus north of Budapest, the Graphisoft Park.
Subsequent Archicad releases introduced other BIM features such as Teamwork, which enabled more architects to work on the same building in parallel, edit functions in three-dimensional model views, and interoperability add-ons to communicate with other applications using IFC - now a de facto standard in data exchange between BIM applications. Graphisoft's flagship product, Archicad was introduced in 1987 as the Virtual Building concept, later (2003) regarded as building information modeling (BIM), and allowing architects to draw walls, windows, doors, slabs and roofs - a common feature now of every BIM-based architectural design software. This made it possible to create Archicad, the first desktop BIM system and Graphisoft's flagship product. Therefore, he sent them an Apple computer. Steve Jobs was impressed by Graphisoft’s capability and the development of the architectural CAD from Bojár in the 2D/3D technology. Since 1984, Graphisoft has been supported by Apple. Then the team provided such software to architects. This limitation led to the development of 3D modeling software that could be used on low cost PCs. They were all experts in three-dimensional mathematical modeling, but had no access to the most modern and efficient computers. When private companies had been allowed, Bojár promptly left his job and launched Graphisoft with a competent team. The communist history of Hungary was an important factor in the success of Graphisoft. The Hungarian software developer created terrain modeling software on microcomputers while he was head of a mathematical department at the Geophysical Institute in Budapest. In 1982, Graphisoft was established by Gábor Bojár. The company's flagship product is Archicad - an architectural design software developed since 1984 for Windows and Mac platforms. Graphisoft has subsidiaries in Germany, United States, United Kingdom, Spain, Japan and a representative office in Singapore. As a subsidiary of Nemetschek, Graphisoft develops Building Information Modeling software products for architects, interior designers and planners.
Graphisoft SE is a European multinational corporation that designs software, and is headquartered in Budapest, Hungary.
