ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 2, 2013 — (PRNewswire) — CADD Microsystems, an Autodesk Platinum Partner, today announced that it has earned the new Construction and Fabrication Specializations for value added resellers from Autodesk, Inc., a world leader in 3D design, engineering and entertainment software. As an Autodesk Specialized Partner, CADD Microsystems has made significant investment in its people, has a solid business practice specific to the construction and fabrication industries, has strong customer references, and continues to provide a high level of experience and support to customers in both the Construction and Fabrication industries.

"It is critical that our clients stay on top of these emerging technologies," said Jeff Gravatte, CEO of CADD Microsystems, "and our mission is to provide our clients with guidance and expertise on not only what is available now, but where the industry is heading. These new specializations - and our 25 years of industry experience - ensure we continue to guide our clients on the best process and technology solutions for their needs."

By completing the required curriculum and training for the Construction and Fabrication industries, as well as meeting required levels of service and standards set by Autodesk, CADD Microsystems demonstrates through its strong customer service and support in sales what it means to be a trusted adviser to its architecture, engineering, construction and owner/operator (AECO) customers.

In addition to these latest achievements, CADD Microsystems has also received authorization and specialization status in AEC, MEP, Government Services, Consulting and Support Services. The pursuit of these specializations aligns with the evolution of firms within the AECO industry as they strive to leverage new technology, enhance the building process and increase their own capabilities.

Through its robust professional services offerings and process integration capabilities, CADD Microsystems helps its clients leverage new technologies to improve process and increase efficiency and profitability. Combining the latest Autodesk technologies with implementation, process and workflow consulting makes it easier for clients to start realizing ROI from their technology investments.

Autodesk's newest construction solutions offer additional value when coupled with existing AECO workflows. These solutions enable "BIM in the cloud," which helps multidiscipline design and construction teams improve project outcomes by moving computation-intensive tasks to the cloud, enabling more rapid visualization and simulation and optimized collaboration with access to intelligent, data-rich models.
