"Autodesk AI and Platform Services will enable Autodesk, our customers, and partners to build more valuable, data driven, and connected products and services in our industry clouds and on our platform," said Andrew Anagnost, Autodesk president and CEO. "Our customers remain committed to transformation, and to Autodesk, evidenced by our largest-ever EBA signed during the quarter, and record contributions from our construction and water verticals to our overall EBA performance."
"Overall market conditions and the underlying momentum of the business remained similar to the last few quarters. Our financial performance in the third quarter was strong with much of the outperformance coming from larger-than-expected expansions of existing EBAs," said Debbie Clifford, CFO of Autodesk.
