Today at Citrix
Synergy™, Autodesk was announced as the winner of the company’s 9th
annual Innovation award, designed to recognize visionary customers
who are using Citrix solutions for delivering mobile workspaces to drive
business innovation and IT simplicity. Autodesk used Citrix solutions to
harness virtualization technology and create a new cloud-based
development environment that has resulted in a faster, lower-cost, and
higher quality process. Autodesk engineers now have access to on-demand
development resources via self-service; and without the need for
physical hardware, engineers are able to work from anywhere. In
addition, as Autodesk accelerates the development of next-generation,
cloud-based tools for design, engineering, and entertainment; engineers
can work on multiple projects in parallel and easily collaborate between
different locations.
Autodesk was selected as a finalist for the award after an extensive
review of nominations from around the world, looking for the most
transformative companies leveraging Citrix market-leading
virtualization, networking and cloud services solutions to deliver
state-of-the art mobile workspaces that enable business growth in a
dynamic and mobile world.
“Mobility is driving an amazing transformation in the way we work,” said
Steve Daheb, senior vice president and chief marketing officer, Citrix.
“Autodesk - and our other finalists - exemplify how the strategic use of
Citrix mobile workspace solutions is enabling our customers to work
better.”
