KEYNOTE
Beyond software: future vision
CET Designer is a complete tool. But CET is more than software. It is also the model for Configura’s vision of a user community joined together via a virtual portal where CET users can meet in a common “space,” dialogue, share ideas and solve problems. CET users could also meet their clients in this space where designs could be collaboratively created, no matter where clients are in the world. And beyond, software developers could use this community – and the technology – to create even more tools for users.
