Autodesk Honors 4 VARs on 25th Anniversary

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.
