Autodesk University 2001 & Autodesk's GIS User Conference November 27 through November 30, 2001 at the MGM
Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada

Day 2 Keynote Address - Larry Diamond
|
As part of Wednesday's events, Larry Diamond, vice president of the Autodesk GIS
Solutions Division, gave a keynote address where he shared with attendees the
latest news from the division, including the new Autodesk Civil Series and Autodesk
Raster Design, and his vision for Autodesk's GIS solutions. In his presentation,
Diamond highlighted how Autodesk is helping customers to solve some of their most
complicated and challenging workflow problems including reducing the amount of
paper-based information in the design process and having to enter and re-enter data
multiple times. According to Diamond, these redundancies lead to data inaccuracies
and slow the design process, which together, has been costing designers hundreds of
millions of dollars a year.

Diamond illustrated to attendees how from the front office, to the back office, and
into the field, and from data creation to analysis to distribution, Autodesk has
powerful and innovative solutions for all parts of the design process. Diamond also
highlighted how Autodesk's solutions can help unlock the value of design data by
making it available beyond the creator so they can put it to new and innovative uses.
This, according to Diamond, is the future of design, and Autodesk already has the
solutions to make this happen.
