"Incat will not only introduce Autodesk solutions to a new range of customers, but also ensure that some of those already using our software are better served, offering complete strategic consultancy and advising customers how to maximise the benefits", he said.
Ivan Sarti, Incat Manager, GMB sales agreed: "Incat is delighted to add Autodesk solutions to our portfolio as we believe the real potential of these products, especially the Inventor series, has yet to be realised.
We can see enormous opportunity for customers to increase their return from Autodesk applications, and that our experience as a total solution provider to manufacturing combined with our considerable capabilities around product lifecycle management, make this relationship a unique and incredibly powerful proposition".
Sarti emphasised how fierce competition, both local and global, was making it increasingly vital to invest in the latest technologies and associated best practice.
"Manufacturers need to find better ways to share data and process - and to deliver quality product to the market in shorter lead times.
Incat and Autodesk have a key role to play here".
"Also, many of our customers are already Autodesk users.
Our relationship will make life easier for them as they will no longer have to go elsewhere for support".
He added that Incat in the USA had already established a very successful reseller relationship with Autodesk: "We deal with global companies and increasingly they are looking for total solutions from global providers, Autodesk is an essential part of this total solution for manufacturing".
