By DE Editors

Bricsys and the Open Design Alliance (ODA) have announced the synchronization of the ODA platform with improvements and enhancements made by Bricsys and a cooperation to further improve the ODA platform.

Development teams from both companies are working together to incorporate modifications made to the ODA platform code by Bricsys back to the ODA, with modifications to be included in the base code delivered by the ODA to its member companies. The first phase of the joint development efforts are expected to take three months to complete.

Moving forward, the ODA and Bricsys have agreed to collaborate and work closely on additional contributions toward the improvement and increased performance of the ODA platform.

The ODA develops and delivers platform technology to its members for inclusion and use within technical graphics applications that members further develop and customize into their own solutions for market.

“The ODA is promoting tight relationships with its members to enable the creation of technologies for the technical graphics industry,” said Arnold van der Weide, ODA president. “The cooperation with Bricsys, a long-term ODA member, is an example of such a relationship—the positive effects will benefit all ODA members who rely on the ODA platform to deliver their own technical graphics solutions.”
