• On-demand access – Internet accessibility means that faciliCAD cloud offerings are available anytime, anywhere – employees can work from any location where Internet access is available.
• Painless upgrades – Because faciliCAD manages all updates and upgrades, there are no patches for customers to download or install. faciliCAD also manages availability, so there is no need for customers to add hardware, software, or bandwidth as the user base grows.
