CAD MicroSolutions, Hagerman, Industrial Technology and Le Groupe BusCom
Celebrate 25 Years of Growth and Commitment to Design Innovation
SAN RAFAEL, Calif., March 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Autodesk, Inc.
(Nasdaq: ADSK) has honored four Value-Added Resellers (VARs) for 25 years of
outstanding sales and customer service at an awards ceremony at the company's
annual One Team Conference (OTC) sales and channel event. The value-added
resellers celebrating 25 years with Autodesk are:
- CAD MicroSolutions Inc., Toronto, Canada
- Hagerman & Company, Inc., Fort Wayne, Idaho
- Industrial Technology Inc., Riviera Beach, Florida
- Le Groupe BusCom, Montreal, Canada
Since partnering with Autodesk in 1984, these companies have helped
designers and engineers take advantage of Autodesk's 2D and 3D design
solutions, and embrace design concepts such as digital prototyping and
building information modeling (BIM). Listen to three reseller podcasts to
hear CAD MicroSolutions, Hagerman & Company and Le Groupe BusCom talk about
their experience in the industry over the past 25 years.
"We heartily congratulate our Silver Anniversary VARs," said Steve Blum,
senior vice president, Americas sales, Autodesk. "Autodesk design solutions
have changed dramatically since the DOS-based systems of the 1980s, but these
resellers have consistently provided superior service to their customers, with
a commitment to technical expertise and helping their customers derive the
full value of their Autodesk solutions."
The four VARs honored at OTC are part of Autodesk's global network of
approximately 1,900 channel partners responsible for delivering Autodesk's
digital design technologies to customers across multiple industries, including
architecture, engineering and construction, manufacturing, automotive,
utilities and government, telecommunications, gaming, TV and film.
VARs Deliver Value to Customers and Autodesk
The companies honored are pioneers in software sales, breaking new ground
with support for technology designed for vertical industries, and adopting
what are now best practices in customer service and support -- such as giving
Autodesk early and ongoing insight into customers' business needs and
day-to-day use of technology, helping Autodesk to identify prospective areas
for product research and development.
Autodesk Channel Network
Autodesk supports its global partner network through a number of
initiatives including a distinguished reseller recognition program, a customer
engagement program which has helped increase partner solutions sales,
investments in channel capability through immersive training, and a channel
partner Web portal designed to provide resellers fast, easy access to a wealth
of materials, program information and news.
Autodesk designates VARs based in part on their proficiency in promoting,
demonstrating, installing and supporting Autodesk products. The companies
celebrating their silver anniversary with Autodesk have helped set the
standards that resellers must meet to become Autodesk-authorized VARs.
