March 1, 2005 - Eugene Oregon - SmartCAMcnc, developers of SmartCAM, announced today that Doug Oliver has been named CAM Software Senior Product Manager for the company.

Oliver comes to SmartCAMcnc with 29 years experience in the CNC, CAM and CAD/CAM software industries, most recently serving as Sales and Distribution Manager for EZCAM Solutions, Inc. Prior to that, he served eight years as Product Manager and Release Manager for Point Control Company, CAMAX Manufacturing Technologies, SDRC, and EDS-UGS.
