PHOENIX, Arizona, January 3, 2007 – The Open Design Alliance today announced that its corporate headquarters have been relocated in Phoenix, AZ, effective January 1, 2007. The new location will provide a larger, more integrated approach to managing planned future growth. The move indicates the first step in an expansion phase for the Open Design Alliance and its mission to deliver highest value and quality software to its members.

“Relocation of the ODA offices is a strategic move designed to maximize future growth,” said Mauritz Botha, VP and acting president, Open Design Alliance “This relocation will allow us to strengthen our internal communications, increase our service to our members and ultimately allow more control for future developments. This relocation is the first step in a new expansion phase for the ODA, permitting it to serve members better and invest more in developmental progress for organization.”

The Open Design Alliance provides exceptional quality technology to the CAD industry enabling users the right to choose best-in-class software solutions regardless of the data file creation source. The relocation of the ODA’s headquarters will create a stronger, unified team positioned to continue rapid expansion of quality technology and future international growth, and increased control of the organization’s overall goal of developing libraries for CAD formats like DWG and DGN.

The ODA’s strong organizational goals and members are creating a unified front to move forward through uncertain circumstances to continue providing industry-leading technologies. The ODA is focused on the future, keeping the organizations overall vision at the forefront and executing forward-thinking goals.

The mailing address for the Open Design Alliance remains the same for the near future for centralization of processes. That address is: 5025 N. Central Avenue #602, Phoenix, AZ 85012. The new offices, however, are located on Shea Road in Phoenix.
