of our software. We have a long-standing relationship, and we look
forward to many more years working together to address the needs of our
joint customers.”

and Autodesk work together to provide technical and consulting resources
to meet industry specific customer needs for which they have been a
trusted source for more than 25 years. Ideate also hosts various
in-person and virtual events to help educate their clients, providing

technologies. Ideate is a Gold Partner and an Autodesk Authorized
Training Center (ATC). The company serves customers in Northern

when our customers are overwhelmingly delighted with the complete
solutions we provide. To be recognized by Autodesk confirms that we are
succeeding in our mission to help our customers reach their goals. We
