The IntelliCAD Technology Consortium (ITC) today announced a strategic partnership with JP Works Consulting to lead ITC’s Business Development and Marketing initiatives, effective January 1, 2025. Under this partnership, Jason Poitras, founder of JP Works Consulting, will oversee these critical functions for the ITC.
Poitras brings over three decades of experience in the CAD and geospatial sectors to this role. Most recently serving as General Manager of MicroSurvey Software, a Hexagon company, Poitras has demonstrated expertise across the full spectrum of technology business operations, from hands-on technical work to executive leadership.
Through this consulting partnership, Poitras will manage business development, strategic planning, member relations, event management, and marketing initiatives. This collaboration strengthens ITC's commitment to advancing CAD technology and serving its member organizations.
Prior to establishing this partnership with the ITC, Poitras held various leadership positions at MicroSurvey Software, progressing from technical sales to Chief Operating Officer and, ultimately, General Manager. During his tenure at MicroSurvey, Poitras also served on the ITC’s board of directors and as secretary of the ITC, providing him with deep insight into the ITC's mission and operations.
"We are thrilled to be working with Jason Poitras," said David Lorenzo, ITC President. "His extensive industry experience, proven leadership capabilities, and deep understanding of both technical and business aspects of CAD and geospatial technologies make him the ideal person to drive our business development and marketing initiatives forward. With a long career as a third-party developer, Jason has worked with a variety of CAD platforms, including AutoCAD, IntelliCAD, BricsCAD, Ares, and others. He has been deeply involved with IntelliCAD since 2005 and served for over nine years on the ITC Board of Directors. Jason’s unique expertise provides him with a clear perspective on the benefits IntelliCAD offers over other platforms, the value of member collaboration, and the ability to work seamlessly within a vision, team, business model, and process he already knows well."
