HISTORY / CORPORATE STRENGTH
Founded in 1986 as a hardware division of AceCad Software

fast rate and are now one of the UK's leading high performance workstation
manufacturers. In 1996 we launched CAD2 as our own specialist
workstation brand and moved to a purpose built technology
centre at the heart of the East Midlands (Derby, Derbyshire).
CAD2
is now pleased to be part of the AceCad Software group of
companies and is still expanding at a steady rate. We are
financially strong (unusual in this type of industry) and
are able to offer our customers the ultimate in after sales
service & support.

THE
CAD2 DIFFERENCE
Here at CAD2 we offer a unique refreshing experience when
it comes to purchasing computer workstations. Most of our
brand name competitors offer computers built on massive assembly
lines that produce hundreds, in some cases thousands, of systems
a day. Scores of unskilled laborers turn one screw or insert
one card in a system and roll it down the line to the next
worker and then simply loaded with a generic operating system
image.
Whilst
this might be the cheapest way to produce equipment it certainly
isn't the best. CAD2 employ dedicated workstation specialists
that individually build and configure every workstation from
start to finish, selecting only the highest quality boxed
components along with custom designed cabling & cooling
solutions. This along with our wealth of computer hardware/software
knowledge ensures that each CAD2 system is built to the highest
of industry standards to support your business without fail.
When you call CAD2 you only speak directly to dedicated professionals.
You wont have to navigate your way through an automated phone
system or wait to get transferred out to an overseas call
centre.
Should
you ever require assistance, have any questions or simply
need help, you will find our technical support department
a refreshing experience. You can even speak to the workstation
specialist that actually built your system who will have an
in depth knowledge of your specification and configuration.
This means we can answer your questions or support issues
quickly and professionally, getting you back up and running
ASAP.
