Arguably one of the most important conferences in the fire protection industry calendar, Fire Australia, will be back in 2022! From the 3rd – 5th of May at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre, the Fire Australia Conference and Tradeshow is on and ACADS-BSG will be there! We will be located at Booth 412, not...
The phrase “customer-centric” in 2021 is ever-present. Social media has a lot to do with this. The internet has flattened communication, providing customers the ability to compare services and products in real-time with millions of strangers around the globe. Yet, there is a difference between being accessible to customers and actually integrating their experiences and...
We are currently seeking expressions of interest from our members for the CAMEL+ Beta testing stage. You will be one of the first to use CAMEL+ and experience how it operates. If you would like the opportunity to be one of the first few users to gain early access to CAMEL+, please send us an...
Change isn’t easy. But this isn’t a subjective concept. In fact, a part of the brain – the amygdala – actually interprets change as something threatening and releases hormones for fight, flight, or fear. The problem, however, is we live in environments that are constantly changing. Companies that adopt change, most notably through technology, profit...
Intelligence is needed to adapt to unexpected conditions. As far as professions go, engineers are an intellectually curious bunch. Tasked with figuring out tough problems with laser-like precision, one could argue that engineers are primed for adaptability. Engineers, among many other professions, were dispatched to work from home for most of 2020. Some speculated that...
One of the most popular words of 2020 was ‘remote’. While remote control devices have always been popular, there’s a new kind of remote in town. The state of work has seen a new trend emerge: remote working. The pandemic sent most of us scrambling to IKEA to establish a new home-based office. We learned...
Kaizen means change for the better. We couldn’t agree more. The world is always changing. People continue to evolve to match new demands. And software should too. For 38 years, ACADS-BSG has built a trusted reputation in Building Design Software. We are proud to serve the design community and even more proud to have some...
Despite living in a digital world, accessing what you want when you need it can still be a challenge. Limiting productivity to a specific computer can stop you from getting your critical work done. But it doesn’t have to be this way. SaaS (Software as a Service) solutions help you stay close to the tools...
The trend is clear. Software is moving to a SaaS model at a rapid pace and for good reason. The lower up-front costs and ease of use are too good to ignore. Today users want availability anywhere, any time and only cloud based applications can deliver on these new expectations. Users enjoy more flexibility with...
Back in April we asked our software users to reach out to us if they were interested in beta testing our new software versions. We appreciate your support and are currently in the midst of beta testing. We are working on the development of new cloud-based versions of HYENA and CAMEL to give you a...
The user interface for HYENA+ is much cleaner and more user friendly than the UI used for the original HYENA program. This makes the experience more enjoyable, easy, and less taxing when using the program for long periods of time. HYENA is an excellent tool to have and its now web-based nature with HYENA+ has allowed it to become even more beneficial.

It has always been a pleasure dealing with ACADS-BSG team due to their helpful nature and quick response time to any inquiries and technical issues. Camel\Hyena works out of the box and install time is in seconds, I cannot recommend any other company that provides better customer service other than Catherine and her team.

The ACADS BSG suite of software has been used by VOS Group for 30 years. We as a company have grown as the software capabilities have changed with usability and technology. The support from head office has always been quick and accurate, with a resolve to overcome any obstacles. We have always found the outputs to be accurate and reliable and a good basis for good engineering design.

Moving to a cloud based platform has improved the overall performance of the software. [being able to log in from any device] has improved my overall productivity as I only need to carry my smart phone or a tablet, and I can do my job remotely. Tools and functions are clearly organised within the new interface reducing any confusion for a new user. Copy+ Paste option saves a lot of time for Engineers like me. It just works like an Excel Sheet, where you can copy items and paste them somewhere else. It saves a lot of time especially if you are working on a single project and you want to do multiple calculations.
[HYENA+] allows me to quickly switch from one calculation to another without losing any data. This has reduced the overall lead time in doing calculations. I am sure [HYENA+] will have a positive impact on the Fire Industry.
