Open Design Alliance Launches Website, Member Portal
 PHOENIX,
AZ, Jan 7, 2008 – The Open Design Alliance (ODA) announces the launch of its
newly enhanced member portal and website at
www.opendesign.com.
The new website delivers enhanced user experience and communication for
the CAD community, ODA members, potential members, and the press. The CAD
community and those interested in using DWG and DGN data can find details
about the ODA, its mission, and related CAD topics discussed in white papers
and press releases. Links to the latest press releases are available
directly on the home page to also benefit the press. Potential members will
find a comprehensive list of current ODA members and details about new
membership, including membership applications.
The member portal is streamlined for accessing various member tools from
one location. ODA members will benefit from easier navigation to released
software library downloads, support forum access, and bug reporting and
tracking.
ODA President Arnold van der Weide commented, “The revamping of
opendesign.com and the upgrade to a new infrastructure will allow the ODA to
further enhance the service and communication delivered to both our members
and the CAD community. I am pleased with the benefits we are achieving with
our increased investments in infrastructure and operations.”
The ODA is a non-profit organization that publishes the publicly
available OpenDWG standard, which documents the structure and technical
content of DWG files. The ODA also uses member fees to support the
development of the CAD technology that is used by over 3,000 software
developers and end-users.
