ITC: The Competitive No-Compete Company

iw2017keynote.pngDay 2 of IntelliCAD World 2017 opened with remarks from David Lorenzo, ITC President. He explained that at its core, the ITC works for its members and does not compete with them. Ever.

Indeed it's a unique position: a competitive no-compete company.

So when CAD companies look for a CAD platform on which to base their development, IntelliCAD is competitive in the CAD platform arena. And when those same CAD companies look for a CAD partner on which to base their businesses, the ITC is the partner that can't be beat — it doesn't compete with member companies or products. So the ITC moves forward with its members, who are the people and companies who define that future.

As Dave put it towards the end of his keynote this morning, “We are very different. And that’s a good thing.”

Accomplishing Extraordinary Things

NZ Slide 2.jpg

Welcome to Auckland, New Zealand, home to IntelliCAD World 2017 and our hosts FRAMECAD. It's Day 1, and ITC and member developers met one-on-one to discuss questions, exchange ideas, and solve issues. There was a buzz coming from small groups where you could catch words like rendering, mobile, BIM, regression testing, customize, source control, and of course a lot more.

In the afternoon we traveled to the FRAMECAD offices and factory for a demo of their rapid steel framing system. Entering the building, we were greeted by an overhead photograph of New Zealand's own Edmund Hillary and inspiring words.

With IntelliCAD, ITC members are accomplishing extraordinary things. And we're about to find out more in the next two days. Stay tuned.

The IntelliCAD Technology Consortium Announces IntelliCAD® World Meeting 2008

Come to Athens to meet the development team and see the new IntelliCAD.

The IntelliCAD Technology Consortium (ITC) (http://www.intellicad.org/) announces the fourth IntelliCAD World Meeting, a multi-day conference designed for people interested in IntelliCAD to meet with ITC members, the IntelliCAD development team, and other innovators in the CAD industry.

IntelliCAD World Meeting 2008 will be held October 29 to 31, 2008 in Athens, Greece. The conference focuses on the next generation of the IntelliCAD technology, to be released during Q2 2009. Seminars will demonstrate the capabilities and importance of this new technology, including new components and application programming interfaces to create custom objects in IntelliCAD. These new development tools further enhance the current capabilities of ITC members to create advanced object-oriented vertical solutions for their end-users.

The ITC team has been working for over 3 years refactoring the widely used IntelliCAD engine, an open platform upon which hundreds of engineering applications have been based. The new IntelliCAD will offer greater speed and wider functionality, and is using the Open Design Alliance DWGdirectTM libraries as its internal database, aimed at offering the best alternative to Autodesk® AutoCAD® for developers.

Mark Driscoll, OEM Business Development Manager for Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks Corp., commented that his company "has been a member of the ITC for many years now and we have seen how this technology has advanced over the years. ARX functionality together with native DWG support in a familiar look and feel will definitely turn the "New IntelliCAD" into a more valuable resource for our customers in support of their 2D drawing data. As a software development platform, IntelliCAD provides a robust and feature rich environment in which CAD software developers may build their applications."

When asked about this year's upcoming IntelliCAD World Meeting, ITC Chairman of the Board and co-founder of DP Tech, Cedric Desbordes said, "This meeting is of high interest for our members, and any company interested in the IntelliCAD technology, to discover the great potential of IntelliCAD 7 and learn how they can start now to migrate their ARX, DRX, SDS or ADS applications. More than ever it is time to join the consortium and I encourage potential members to attend this meeting to learn more about IntelliCAD, our members, and our technology partners."

After last year IntelliCAD World Meeting, Darcy Detlor, President of MicroSurvey Software, Inc. (www.microsurvey.com) said, "The momentum and excitement level in this group was both surprising and refreshing. IntelliCAD definitely has the stability and features that we need to build our vertical application. Our decision to join the ITC was validated by the meeting, and we are anxious to get rolling."

Since last year meeting, the ITC has issued several major releases of IntelliCAD, including the recently released IntelliCAD 6.1. When asked about this year upcoming IntelliCAD World Meeting, ITC President Arnold van der Weide said, "I am both excited and looking forward to meeting with long-time members and meeting many new delegates this year at the IntelliCAD World Meeting.
