Customers who join the Autodesk Architectural Desktop Customer Council and the Autodesk Revit Building Customer Council will have direct communication with the product development teams and the ability to provide product feedback earlier in the development cycle, resulting in software and tools that are more relevant for customers and of higher quality.
Autodesk is seeking deeper insight into its global base of more than 500,000 Architectural Desktop and Revit Building customers, and will use the online customer councils to conduct surveys and analyses to inform architecture product strategy, better understand product usage, and prioritise features for future product releases.
Autodesk initiated a beta test of the Architectural Desktop Customer Council in 2005 to gauge initial customer engagement, and over 600 customers worldwide joined to participate in surveys on data management, product planning, visualisation and annotation.
"As a participant in the trial phase of the Architectural Desktop Customer Council, it was clear to me that Autodesk values the opinions and needs of its customers and is committed to supporting and investing in Architectural Desktop," said Miles Walker, CAD manager of HOK's London office.
"I look forward to being a part of the Revit Building and Architectural Desktop Customer Councils and working with Autodesk's product development teams to help create even better versions of its architectural products in the years to come".
