That is why Altima is dedicated to completing customer shape requests with ultimate precision and in the most time-effective manner possible."

Altima Technologies partners with leading hardware manufacturers in its Manufacturer Certified Stencil Program, or MCS, to create exact replicas of their computer/telecomm and audio/video product lines. The manufacturer specific shapes are added to the NetZoom library after the hardware manufacturer approves each product. The MCS program ensures that the shapes and stencils are detailed, accurate and up-to-date within the libraries.

"Our customers use Visio stencils extensively and having easily downloadable equipment shapes has been invaluable. Because Altima can quickly create new shapes as new products are announced, they offer the best alternative for keeping our library up-to-date. And, since we market through distribution, their email notification of shapes downloaded by customers provide us with better insight into our customer base," said Raylene Kadrmas of Metrobility Optical Systems.
