Des Moines, Iowa (PRWEB) January 22, 2014

Charrette Venture Group has announced a business plan competition for architects who are considering starting their own design firm and for existing architectural firms that have been in business for five years or less. The first prize winner of the competition will receive $10,000.

Eligible participants must be a licensed architect in the U.S. or Canada, and, if operating an existing design firm, must have been in business for five years or less. Interested architects should register online by March 28, 2013, and an executive summary of their business plan must be submitted by April 25, 2013. The winners will be announced at a special reception in Chicago, Illinois during the American Institute of Architects national convention on June 26, 2013. There is no cost to enter the competition. For detailed rules, the full competition timeline, and additional resources on how to write a business plan, please visit the competition website at http://www.architectbusinessplancompetition.com.

The architecture profession is filled with many talented, creative individuals, and it is a highly entrepreneurial profession with many architects choosing to launch their own firms. However, the importance of entrepreneurship is often times overlooked or understated, said Matt Ostanik, President and Founder, Charrette Venture Group, and himself a registered architect in state of Iowa. The goal of the competition is to encourage more architects to start their own firms and to inspire a broader dialog about the role of entrepreneurship in our profession.

ANN ARBOR (WWJ) Portal Architects Inc. announced the general market availability of version 2.7 of its SkySync software.

The company says SkySync is a simple yet powerful Windows app that enables organizations of any size to synchronize or migrate files across most storage systems including cloud platforms, Microsoft SharePoint and network file-shares.

SkySync transforms the process of migrating or syncing on-site files to cloud platforms into simple steps that take only minutes, Portal Architects CTO Steve Woodward said. For network file systems, SkySync offers advanced capabilities that enable admins to automatically link and maintain entire groups of user home-drives to their cloud storage accounts with only a few clicks.

Also, Woodward said, SkySyncs new filtering capabilities prevent files like .db, .cmd and other file-types from moving your cloud storage platform. You can even filter by file creation date, last-modified date range, or file-name. Plus, its granular reporting capabilities provide system admins a complete audit trail of all file filter and transfer actions.

Mark Brazeau, Portal Architects co-founder, added that SkySyncs scalable architecture is designed to easily manage over 100 million file-transfers per instance across any number of connected systems. It resolves file conflicts and system caveats automatically, so migrating large-volumes of files to the cloud or having them co-exist with your on-premises storage is easy.

SkySync is designed to meet the demands of businesses of all sizes, from a single workstation to multiple servers transferring terabytes of files. SkySync includes connectors for Microsoft SharePoint 2007, SharePoint 2010, SharePoint 2013, Microsoft Office 365, Box, Huddle, DropBox, SkyDrive, Google Drive, Citrix ShareFile, SugarSync, Documentum, as well as network file systems. Connectors for Egnyte, Copy by Barracuda, and SalesForce are also incorporated within the version 2.7 release.

Portal Architects is a software development company comprised of senior .Net architects and engineers with extensive enterprise content management and Microsoft SharePoint development expertise.
