*Car bass said:
The restructuring is focused primarily of the company’s shift to cloud and
mobile computing.“This action allows us to continue to invest in recruiting
and hiring people who can bring Autodesk the skills and experience that are
critical for achieving our mid and long-term goals, says Bass. “As part of
the ongoing platform shift, it’s clear to us that design and engineering
software will move to cloud and mobile platforms. Cloud and mobile has been
a major investment area for Autodesk over the past couple of years and this
restructuring will accelerate our progress as we intend to further invest
in employees with expertise and skill sets essential to this transition.*
Stephen on cgtalk brought up an interesting quote from awhile back.
*According to a recent interview with Autodesk's CEO Carl Bass, in a few
years the company's software would be running online ("cloud-based" only).
Quoting from the interview (2m26sec): "I'd say 2 to 3 years from now every
one of our products will be used online. The only way to use them will be
online."**
