Architosh e-Store to Expand with Software and Services

Worldwide leading Mac CAD and 3D Portal Player, Architosh, will begin expanding offerings to include re-selling leading CAD and 3D software, in addition to other products and services through its vendor flexible e-Store

CAMBRIDGE, , MASS. --- June 25, 2003 --- Architosh.com, a leading CAD portal specializing in IT information resources, end-user support, editorial products, and industry analysis for Macintosh-based CAD/3D and AEC users worldwide, has announced, that is it expanding its Architosh e-Store to include third-party software and services. Already the first Mac webportal to integrate an Associate Apple Store in 2000 -- an exclusive offering that has since remained exclusive to Architosh and few others -- Architosh has expanded over the years to include other associated Web stores from industry leading resellers such as MacMall (PCMall Inc.) and ICS-Integrated CADD Services.

"At Architosh we have developed the largest online community in the world dedicated to all things Macintosh CAD and 3D," said Anthony Frausto, site founder and editor, "and our single e-commerce goal in support of our mission is to expand our offerings to better support a worldwide audience of professional Mac users."

Open Program: Independent Software Vendors Invited

"We have an open program and encourage ISV's, VAR's, and consultants to learn more." said Anthony Frausto. "With over 25,000 unique readers every month Architosh's e-Store is an excellent vehicle to expose and sell Mac CAD and 3D software products and services." "Our readers have been continually asking for more options when purchasing CAD and 3D software for the Macintosh," said Frausto, "and since they spend considerable amounts of time at the site daily and weekly, they want the convenience of shopping through the site for their tools."

"Over the last two years we have received a number of invitations to resell CAD and 3D products not just through our MacMall and Apple associate programs, but directly from leading software vendors." Said Anthony Frausto. "We look forward to announcing more arrangements in the near future."

Current e-Store Programs

Architosh currently has four partnership arrangements, extending from its common Associate Amazon.com store (which focuses on books for CAD, 3D and architecture and design), to its Associate Apple Store, Exclusive Architosh MacMall Store Program, and associate ICS (Integrated CADD Services) Yahoo store. All of the stores compliment each other in different ways and provide Architosh readers plenty of options to purchase equipment and software and at the same time help support Architosh financially through their participation in the e-Store.

As an example, Architosh's exclusive MacMall store offers Architosh readers a discount of anywhere between $40-$100 or more on Apple's new G5 Power Macs in addition to other bundled products and incentives. When purchasing new products for entire offices the Architosh MacMall Store can save companies $1000 or more compared to competitors.
