ATLANTA, GA., November 4th, 2003 — IronCAD, LLC, the Innovative Design Collaboration Solutions Company, today announced a new strategic partnership with HOPE Technologies Limited (HOPE) based in New Delhi, India. HOPE will promote and sell IronCAD’s family of products throughout India and neighboring countries. HOPE currently employs over 110 employees at its headquarters and 6 regional offices throughout India.

“We are very excited about this new relationship,” says Steve McGuinness, IronCAD LLC’s Director of International Sales, “The Indian market has historically been very strong for CAD software with hundreds of international companies placing portions of their R&D facilities throughout India. Having a partner like HOPE with their extensive Indian presence will allow us to expand the availability of our IronCAD product line and let more people experience “The Fastest and Easiest Way to 3D!””

“Through HOPE we are aiming at corporate and educational institutions that would benefit from IronCAD’s products and Technology,” says Shaun Murphy, IronCAD, LLC’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing, “Our industry leading and patented innovative design technologies such as the TriBall™ and SmartSnap™ will allow users in India to design more productively than ever before.”

“More often than not the deciding factor for a successful launch of a product is a strong robust design solution and competitive price. In order to optimize the design process, reduce time to market and achieve better visualization when presenting a product to manufacturing, market and decision makers, more and more companies are beginning to invest in 3D CAD,” Says Saroop Chand, Director of HOPE. “The dream of many a company is to get a powerful 3D software solution which is easy to use, at an affordable price. Our interaction with over 5000 plus customers provides us with the confidence that IronCAD is just the product that the industry has been waiting for.”
