Autodesk Honors Four Value Added Resellers on Silver Anniversary

Autodesk, Inc. 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.

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.

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.
