For years I have talked about writing a book chronicling the history of Autodesk - but from a partner’s perspective. We have all read various tomes on Autodesk from an internal perspective. But the real story of Autodesk was its channel – how they grew it and ultimately how they managed it for their benefit.
I have shared the name – Between The Elephant’s Toes -with friends for years. I even started the blog a few years ago – but got diverted into writing about some exciting new technology related to digital pens ….. this has expanded in scope and evolved into a new company at ChasmTech…. but I digress (and blatantly advertise).
In this blog I will share my personal perspective of critical events in the evolution of the relationship between Autodesk and its partners – truly a partner perspective.
I very much encourage others to post comments on specific events, particularly if you can add insight on how Autodesk was viewing the same event.
So let’s begin this adventure and see where it takes us.
