About Autodesk

For 23 years, Autodesk has invested in people, software and technology to help customers realise their ideas—to compete and win.

Autodesk first revolutionised the software industry with the AutoCAD® product, which introduced drafting on a PC. The widespread popularity of AutoCAD software forged our company’s lifetime commitment to practical innovation that drives productivity and profitability. AutoCAD also paved the way for Autodesk technology leadership in industries such as building, infrastructure, manufacturing, media and entertainment and wireless data.

Today, Autodesk is a fully diversified software company that provides targeted solutions for creating, managing and sharing digital assets. Our community numbers more than six million users and includes four global strategic partners—Microsoft, Intel, Hewlett-Packard, and IBM—as well as 2,500 third-party developers. What unites us all is the same spirit our company was founded on: innovation that drives real-world success. You can see that success in the accomplishments of our loyal customers, which include 100 percent of Fortune 100 companies and 98 percent of Fortune 500 companies.

Moving into the future, Autodesk continues to evolve strategic competencies to support customers’ sustainability and success. We remain dedicated to helping integrate today’s best technologies—such as advanced modelling, digital collaboration and practical data management—into everyday business practices. In this way, we help ensure our customers’ visions come to fruition and that our customers can compete in business and win.
