What will Dynascape do for us that AutoCad 2005 or 6 won't do? We will be making this purchase in March or April, I'm assembling all the components on paper right now.

What DynaSCAPE (and DynaSCAPE for AutoCAD) do for you is provide landscape design/build/maintenance tools that support the landscape/design/build/maintenance tasks you'll likely need to do. AutoCAD alone is a generic CAD program, so nothing is particularly tailored to landscape design.
Based on what our customers tell us, you should be able to:
-Produce better looking presentations (due to our extensive symbol libraries, links to online plant encyclopedia, our attention to details like line weights) and potentially sell more as a result
-Produce accurate Estimates quickly (due to the integration between our products) saving time and money
-Accurately track costing information and fine tune your processes as a result (Should you decide the 'Manage' component is of use to you)
There are obviously more details than this, but listing them all would make for a boring read - we'd need to know what things are important/apply to you.
Again, you have the option of DynaSCAPE Design Stand Alone, or DynaSCAPE Design for AutoCAD, so you wouldn't neccessarily have to think about AutoCAD OR DynaSCAPE - You pick whichever CAD 'Engine' suits you best. Our AutoCAD version comes with the same symbol block libraries and tools, so if you have designers with AutoCAD skills you are free to leverage this.
What you may want to do is get some 'face time' with us and our products - if you're planning on attending any major industry tradeshows this month stop by our booth for a demo and speak to one of our guys. Check us out at
www.dynascape.com and/or give us a call at our toll free number if you'd like.
My sales pitch is pretty horrible, but suffice it to say we're not interested in selling anyone something they don't want or can't use - hence our free trial program.
I'll be around to answer any more Q's.
