HCL has India's largest distribution and retail network, taking to market a range of Digital Lifestyle products in partnership with leading global ICT brands, including Apple, Cisco, Ericsson, Kingston, Kodak, Konica Minolta, Microsoft, Nokia, Toshiba, and many more.

“Many leading equipment manufacturers across North America and Europe have optimized their technical authoring processes with the implementation of Cortona3D software and realized 80%+ cost savings from this investment. With lots of digital data (CAD) generated by engineering in the design process, it makes sense to leverage these assets to speed production of visually intuitive technical publications at a fraction of conventional cost,” said ParallelGraphics’ President Connell Gallagher. “The business proposition is very compelling. It’s time to extend these proven operational efficiencies to manufacturing concerns in India and our experienced partners HCL Infosystems are the market leader to deliver them.”

Cortona3D open standards authoring tools enable equipment manufacturers to create interactive, animated 3D Product Documentation such as Maintenance Manuals, Spare Parts Catalogs and Interactive Training from existing CAD assets rapidly. The software automates the import and linking of engineering data which improves accuracy /quality and allows all of the resources to be centrally managed so that future updates and revisions can be efficiently generated. Outputs with real-time updates can be delivered online. Proven benefits are three times faster production, 80%+ cost savings, and improved quality.

“We are delighted to be able to offer powerful three dimensional (3D) visual and interactive products and services for Cataloging, training and simulation based on ParallelGraphics ground-breaking Cortona3D technology to our customers in India. These can be deployed to produce and deliver cost-effective next generation interactive technical publications," said Mr.V.J.Vargheese, GM, HCL Infosystems.

“ParallelGraphics would like to welcome HCL Infosystems to our partner network. It is a pleasure to be working with an organization of such quality, who knows the local market thoroughly. As resellers of Cortona3D software they have the opportunity to make their manufacturing customers even more competitive,” said Connell Gallagher, President, ParallelGraphics.
