Autodesk, the maker of the popular AutoCAD design software, has worked with Eloquent to create five interactive rich media "events" as part of the company's reseller sales program. Autodesk has received very positive feedback from resellers who appreciate both the flexibility in learning and reduced travel time that Eloquent's solutions offer. Autodesk plans to expand its reseller sales program by creating additional Eloquent events and placing the content directly on the Web for fast, flexible access. "Traditional classroom education has become too expensive and slow to allow resellers to compete effectively in the face of today's extremely short product cycles," said Jane Beule, Vice President of Marketing, Eloquent. "The key to resellers' success is their up-time in the field, together with the depth of their knowledge about current products and marketing strategies. Eloquent's rich media solutions deliver on both counts, allowing companies to quickly deliver consistent technical and marketing information worldwide while keeping reseller personnel fully productive."
