Stardraw teams up with ICIA and InfoComm iQ

In a move designed to enhance both businesses and add value for the end user, leading design and documentation software specialists Stardraw.com have announced a unique partnership with the premier audiovisual association, ICIA.

InfoComm iQ, developed, maintained and delivered by the International Communications Industries Association, Inc.® (ICIA), is an industry-wide product information database for the AV market which offers users instant access to the most up-to-the-minute product information. ICIA takes raw data from manufacturers and re-authors it to be complete, current and comparable. It is then distributed directly and through third party dealer websites. By teaming up with Stardraw, with its own library of over 36,000 high quality symbols from manufacturers, ICIA looks forward to making InfoComm iQ available to a wider audience.

Stardraw users will not only have access to the graphical representation of a product for their systems engineering drawings, but also technical data which can then be embedded directly into a tender document.

According to Stardraw.com Inc president, Randell Green, the arrangement is the perfect dovetailing of two totally complementary products to create an even more powerful industry tool. "Along with our colleagues at ICIA we firmly believe that the sharing and dissemination of information for mutual benefit is a good thing," he stated. "Our partnership with ICIA is a great example of how co-operation within the industry adds value across the board, and more importantly results in a better and more complete service for the customer. It's a win-win situation for everybody."
