GraphicVision leverages the power and functionality of existing commercial off the shelf (COTS) software products to deliver custom graphic information solutions. The product that started it all was Autodesk's AutoCAD. The partners at GraphicVision have worked with AutoCAD since 1984, building upon that product's many application programming interfaces (APIs). GraphicVision is an Authorized Business Partner of Autodesk Inc.

As AutoCAD expanded in functionality and capabilities, so too did GraphicVision's vision of an expanded graphics environment. In the late 1980's the GraphicVision partners were among the first developers to utilize AutoCAD in Geographic Information Systems (GIS). This expansion in the scope of AutoCAD included dynamic connections to ORACLE databases, which lead the way for development of the AutoCAD Data Extension (ADE).

The marriage of AutoCAD and databases became the focus of GraphicVision in the early 1990s, with the addition of Sybase and MS SQL Server databases. GraphicVision is currently a business partner with ORACLE, Sybase and Microsoft, with emphasis on their database products.

In the mid-1990s, GraphicVision began working with the ARCHIBUS/FM computer-aided facility management (CAFM) product. ARCHIBUS/FM brought an elegant interface to the AutoCAD/database hybrid environment. Over the past ten years, GraphicVision has implemented ARCHIBUS/FM for clients such as Denver Public Schools, Ball Aerospace and Los Alamos National Laboratory. GraphicVision is an Authorized ARCHIBUS/FM Developer.

In the late 1990s, it was evident to GraphicVision that the web environment provided flexibility in application deployment, and that it was the development platform of the future. In both its work with ARCHIBUS/FM, and in the development of its own product, ScheduleFM, GraphicVision utilized the Cold Fusion, Flash and Java programming languages. The introduction of web-enabled AutoCAD drawing, with embedded hyperlinks, opened the door for GraphicVision to provide total graphical information systems utilizing the web browser interface. GraphicVision is an Authorized Business Partner of Adobe, the developer of Cold Fusion and Flash.

In 1998, GraphicVision began development of ScheduleFM as a full application. ScheduleFM is the consolidation of the AutoCAD, database, GIS and web environment experience GraphicVision had acquired over the years. This facility scheduling application broke the mold for scheduling software, providing higher education, K-12 school districts, corporations and parks and recreation organizations with expanded scheduling capabilities, dynamic graphics, integrated billing and an open API.

The popularity of ScheduleFM has increased steadily over the last few years, and the application continues grow and mature. GraphicVision's total focus is now on ScheduleFM, with continuing education in all of its supporting products. ScheduleFM can integrate seamlessly with a CAFM product like ARCHIBUS/FM, or a GIS product like ARCView. GraphicVision is an Authorized ESRI Developer.

Graphic information systems, like ScheduleFM, provide graphical interfaces to non-graphical data. Pictures tell a thousand words, and with the constant barrage of information, people need a way of filtering data into bits they can easily absorb. GraphicVision's graphic information systems make that happen.
