Jitterbit today announced that its cloud-based platform will be a fully embedded feature in Autodesk's lastest product lifecycle management solution, Fusion Lifecycle (previously known as Autodesk PLM 360). Jitterbit's intuitive user interface and integration templates make it easy for everyday users to connect Fusion Lifecycle with third-party applications in just seconds, automating common tasks across different systems. As modern businesses take advantage of numerous apps within a single line of business, the ability to connect different applications to streamline business processes quickly and easily becomes critical. However, building these connections has typically been slow and time-consuming, and demands specialized IT resources. By embedding the Jitterbit cloud connectivity in to Fusion Lifecycle, Autodesk extends its new product lifecycle management solution across the entire organization, empowering users to instantly connect processes in real time across different applications instead of relying on custom-built integrations. The new Event Manager feature within Autodesk Fusion Lifecycle is a
