Committed to recognizing top Autodesk Value Added Resellers (VAR), Autodesk, Inc.

PSPs comprise an elevated level of the Autodesk Value Added Reseller program, which incorporates Autodesk software solutions along with proven and measurable technical expertise in a specific industry or unique business. PSPs provide their customers with full solutions from pre- and post-sales support, to training, implementation, and customization. They work closely with Autodesk so that the PSPs' customers maximize their return on investment in Autodesk software solutions.

"Premier Solutions Providers understand that a healthy business is achieved through the success of their customers," said Steve Blum, Vice President of American Sales at Autodesk. "This elite group of VARs has raised the bar by developing a deep understanding of their customers' business, pain points, and goals. They also have a solid understanding of solution selling and implementation."

To qualify for the Autodesk PSP status, a VAR must demonstrate technical and industry expertise that includes a strong knowledge of customers' business needs in the areas of Civil Solutions and Mapping, Architecture, Manufacturing, Collaboration, Government or Education.

Autodesk considers those chosen for PSP status to be experts at implementing the Autodesk Solutions of a particular product division or customer type. The PSPs also have proven customer references and testimonials to support their level of expertise and commitment to customer success.

The six types of PSPs are Manufacturing Specialist, Civil Solutions and Mapping Specialist, Architectural Specialist, Collaboration Specialist, Government Specialist and A+ Academic Specialist.
