Kirksey And Partners Architects, one of the most successful architecture firms in the southern United States, made ArchiCAD its CAD standard. Tokyo's famous Waseda University announced its decision to introduce ArchiCAD into a wide range of its educational courses later in 1999. The global reach of ArchiCAD was further expanded to include a 25th language when the localized Estonian version of ArchiCAD hit the market in January. The company plans to integrate Bauplan technology into future versions of ArchiCAD to strengthen its adherence to German CAD standards, broaden its market and extend its market-leading position in Germany. Graphisoft maintained its outstanding profitability.
