The trend of it towards consumption is again mentioned by the industry

In recent years, with the advent of the cloud computing era, the trend of it toward consumption was again mentioned by the industry. Obviously, we see that the previous high it, not so unattainable, and become accessible. Whether we're using a regular PC or smart terminals like smartphones or tablets, you can enjoy IT services remotely and mobile.

In fact, as early as 2005, Gartner had proposed "it consumption" (Consumerization of it) forecasts. "It consumerism" is not an obscure word, it means that information technology is no longer dedicated to IT professionals, but more to start serving ordinary consumers. "It consumption" is the product of the deepening development of information technology, and its advancement requires the information technology owner to be more rapid, flexible and secure technical support, while supporting the use of various intelligent terminals.

There have been third-party companies surveyed, 95% of employees buy and use all kinds of consumer terminal processing work. 2011, intelligent Terminals in the global shipments have exceeded the PC shipments. More and more personal consumer terminals become a tool to deal with business. Many mainstream it vendors are aware that "it consumption" has become an unstoppable trend, have changed service models and ideas to meet the trend of the arrival.

As the world's second-and three-dimensional design, engineering and entertainment software leader, Autodesk clearly saw this trend. How to make the design software better meet the "it consumer" trend of user needs? How to make Chinese users in the growing mobile terminal market more convenient to enjoy the core value of Autodesk design software? Designing cloud services is undoubtedly the best answer.

AutoCAD Easy: cloud services for the Chinese market

Following the release of Outek (Autodesk Cloud) on September 27, the Autodesk Company, located in Shanghai's research and Development Center, again released a simple and practical online CAD software--AUTOCAD easy to set up the latest cloud services and face China. Autodesk Company Global Senior Vice president, Asia-Pacific President Weiberd introduced, "AutoCAD Easy is a simple and practical online CAD software, it is a completely based on the Autodesk flagship product AutoCAD for the Chinese market tailored new cloud services. "It can be seen that China occupies an important position in the Autodesk market strategy."

Autodesk Huang Zhiming, general manager of Greater China, said, "AutoCAD is the Autodesk China Research Institute (ACRD) research and development staff for the specific needs of the Chinese market, designed for the Chinese design and engineering research and development design." In the future, AutoCAD will continue to provide richer drawings to create and edit functions, as well as the content of Chinese users. ”

Compared with the traditional stand-alone version of AutoCAD, AutoCAD Easy is a simple and practical online CAD application software, it supports Chinese users to create and edit the CAD documents online, but also to provide users with graphics, editing and annotation, annotation and other basic functions.

In view of such outstanding performance and the growth of China's cloud technology investment, Autodesk decided to design a special product for China: AutoCAD Easy to help Chinese users solve a variety of design and engineering problems.

From the AutoCAD Easy demo, AutoCAD easy to now default for each user to provide 1GB free online storage space, a single file upload limit is 20MB. AutoCAD Easy Product manager said, currently only tentative, Autodesk will also be based on user needs and feedback to make a final review.

CAD Person: Everyone's Outek

On December 6, Autodesk released AutoCAD easily, Autodesk also launched a comprehensive portal for the Chinese area covering AutoCAD software, content and application stores, and community forums, such as "CAD people." The Web site provides a DWG editor, an online store that sells local proprietary content and applications, and provides collaborative services, community platforms, and more. Outek has taken a solid step in localizing its services to the Chinese market. "CAD person" release, let Outek have China's base.

"CAD Person" is Autodesk designed to meet the needs of Chinese design and engineering personnel to establish a high-quality design platform. At the same time, "CAD person" is a platform for Third-party developers and users to create content and applications, meet the needs of design and engineering, a new business model designed to facilitate the development of customized AutoCAD in China through free or paid loading of applications and local content.

Shengsong finally showed Autodesk's idea of creating an ecological circle. Outek first to provide a free online design software for the main, but also to attract a number of third-party developers to do application development. Just like other open platforms. The difference is that AutoCAD has become a third-party development platform. Shengsong said that in China, Autodesk has more than 100 Third-party development partners based on AutoCAD. Previously, these partners have developed experience with PC technology, and now they just need to move these apps to the cloud to get a bigger cloud market on the Outek platform. By then, we will be able to see more and better cloud applications bloom like flowers in the Chinese market.
