Autodesk Introduces Enhanced Geospatial Solutions to Improve Asset Management

Kuala Lumpur, August 8, 2007—Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK) recently unveiled Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise 2008, an advanced geospatial offering that provide organizations with a platform to share location, design and enterprise information across departments – delivering the right information to the right people at the right time. The product helps drive innovation, cost-effectiveness and competitive advantage at every stage of infrastructure design, construction and management.

Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise 2008 builds on Autodesk’s support for open source software to help public agencies, utilities and telecommunications customers extend the reach and value of geospatial information and knowledge through their organizations and beyond. As a central component of the Autodesk geospatial solution, Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise software utilizes the Internet to deliver important, up-to-date asset and infrastructure information to the people who need it.

“The open source community plays an essential role in Autodesk’s commitment to providing geospatial solutions that enable the convergence of data, knowledge and people,” said Lim Eng Jin, Country Manager, Autodesk Malaysia-Pakistan-Brunei. “Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise 2008 reflects the open source community’s input on the features most important to organizations, such as native support for Google Earth.”

Updates Speed Development of Web-based Geospatial Applications
Valuable contributions from the open source community reflected market need and fostered many innovations within Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise 2008. The software improves enterprise users’ ability to integrate design and spatial data from a variety of sources, develop new geospatial applications and distribute maps and spatial data faster and more easily through dynamic Web pages or in the form of detail-rich, highly accurate and compact DWF files. New and improved functionality makes Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise 2008 a powerful development solution, while gains in performance, stability and interoperability deliver a stronger and more dynamic user experience.

Members of the geospatial community such as DM Solutions Group have driven the development of features important to their customers, which are now incorporated in Autodesk MapGuide Enterprise 2008. “Today’s news demonstrates the advantages of collaboration with the open source community,” said David McIlhagga, president of DM Solutions Group. “Everybody wins: open source developers don’t have to clear huge cost or technical hurdles to build the tools they feel are most important, while our solutions and Autodesk customers gain relevant, enterprise-class features and functions.”
