Independent Computer Consultants Association (ICCA) is an international not-for-profit trade association headquartered in Missouri that provides professional development opportunities and business support programs for independent computer consultants. The ICCA consists of chapters across the United States and members worldwide. ICCA is one of six major computer-related associations represented on the Board of Directors of The Institute of Certified Computer Professionals (ICCP).
ICCA was founded in Missouri in 1976. ICCA was formed with three basic purposes: To promote professionalism within the industry; To make the business community aware of the products and services available from independent consultants; To provide group type benefits to members.
Members of the ICCA are computer and software experts who have practical experience with the industry's rapidly changing technology. They use, recommend and install the latest products, and help corporations and individuals utilize the capabilities of the technology they own.
"People no longer look for hardware and software; they look for solutions," said one long-time ICCA member. "Consultants are the glue that integrate technology and give the computer user the benefits of the technology they've purchased."
As independent consultants, ICCA members objectively support the best computer or software solutions in all areas of the computer industry, from hardware design to systems integration to employee training. Most have 10 or more years of experience in the computer field and are full-time computer consultants who own their own businesses.
ICCA is an international organization that provides a forum for consultants to support each other in their effort to provide clients with the best computer and software solutions. Through national conferences, chapter meetings, and the Internet, members can develop business referral relationships as well as hear top-notch speakers. ICCA offers consultants legislative monitoring along with a variety of member benefits and services.
