Open Design Alliance and Aftercad to Collaborate on SaaS Technology

Wednesday, 27 January 2010

Phoenix, AZ USA, and Vancouver, BC Canada, January 27, 2010 – The Open Design Alliance (ODA) today announced a new partnership with Aftercad Software to expose core technical graphics solutions and tools that handle complex visual elements to the streamlining of Software as a Service (SaaS) technology. advertisement The ODA chose Aftercad, a long-standing ODA member, to partner with because of their development of new implementations and technologies with SaaS technology and their ability to deliver visual solutions. The ODA and Aftercad will jointly develop software prototypes for demonstration purposes using both technologies. Arnold van der Weide, ODA President, stated, “While SaaS may be relatively new to the technical graphics and CAD industries, adopting new technology and offering more opportunities to our ODA members is a core part of our component strategy.  The collaboration with Aftercad opens new paths for innovation and success for our members.” Christopher Boothroyd, CEO of Aftercad Software, added, “This collaboration with the ODA highlights their leadership and promotion of choice in the CAD industry.  We are actively engineering solutions for ODA members and look forward to working more closely with the ODA and its members.” About the Open Design Alliance The Open Design Alliance is a non-profit consortium of over 2,000 software developers and users committed to promoting open, industry-standard formats for the exchange of CAD data and CAD legacy data.  The ODA technology platform provides users with the tools to create a wide range of applications, including custom data access and editing utilities, visualization tools, and even full-scale CAD systems.  The platform also supports the use of both DWG and DGN files, with import and export capabilities to other file formats.  The Open Design Alliance maintains the OpenDWG® library and publishes the OpenDWG file specification.   www.opendesign.com About Aftercad Aftercad is a leading provider of innovative products and solutions that enable the viewing and publishing of complex 3D data sets over the web.  Aftercad’s LiveWeb technology allows organizations to publish, share, annotate and manage 3D CAD data for Digital Prototyping, Manufacturing, Building Information Modeling and Infrastructure Planning.   www.aftercad.com
