upFront.eZine #1,123: Qonic Kicks Off
Inside the Business of CAD | 21 February 2022
From the Editor
Not much of a newsletter this week, as my dad (98 next month) moved (willingly!) from his condo to a very fine old folks home. This meant that family and friends spent the last week clearing the condo of 30 years of memories. Regular newsletter next week.
There was, however, one bit of new news I want to share with you.
And in Other News
With the sale of Bricsys to Hexagon, and much of the old Bricsys crew leaving Hexagon, we wondered what was up next for Erik de Keyser and his team of serial entrepreneurs.
It turns out to be Qonic, “the next generation building design modeling tools.” The old team has gotten back together, with people like Erik de Keyser, Mark Van Den Bergh, Sander Scheiris, and Dmitry Ushakov.
Reflecting, the new endeavor should comes as no surprise to us. Mr de Keyser’s aim always has been to create easy-to-use architectural design software. This, by my reckoning, is phase V in his journey.
The Web site, for now, is largely a placeholder. qonic.com
