It was standing-room only at Delcam’s 2014 sales partner meeting, so much so, the company had to find a bigger venue to accommodate the more than 450 people who attended.
The meeting comes on the heels of Delcam’s acquisition by Autodesk and centred on the company’s plans for the CAD/CAM provider. When the deal closes, Delcam becomes a wholly-owned, independently operated subsidiary of Autodesk.
“This special status reflects Autodesk’s recognition of Delcam’s internationally renowned brand, strong products, and deep CAM knowledge and expertise,” Delcam president Clive Martell said at the event, which took place in Solihull, England.
“By maintaining the existing structure of the business, including our relationships with our sales partners, Autodesk is demonstrating its trust in and respect for Delcam’s software range, management, and organization. It means that sales partners will be able to continue to support their customers and to grow their businesses, with no significant changes to their operations. Autodesk brings to Delcam increased financial strength that will support our plans to continue the growth of the business, unparalleled expertise in design, and a long history of making technology accessible to broad audiences. In the longer term, the acquisition will create new opportunities for sharing and transfer of technology and expertise between the companies that will benefit our business and our customers.”
