MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—November 11, 2008— Clarizen, a provider of on-demand, online project management software, today announced its integration with Autodesks AutoCAD software.

Autodesk University brings together a community of professionals including product users, instructors, software developers and tools suppliers to participate in a time-tested model of efficient learning and networking. Clarizens session will explore the benefits of integrating on-demand project management and computer-aided design (CAD) to manage and track projects within the AutoCAD software environment and enable real-time collaboration for designers and suppliers that need to be in constant communication.

The integration between the AutoCAD system and Clarizen lets users update, change or create documents within the CAD environment so that all project information is available via AutoCADs main menu. In addition, information is accessible to managers, clients and other distributed teams via Clarizens online project management solution. Users benefit from increased productivity and streamlined project execution that helps ensure that no items are overlooked while managing multiple projects at the same time.

The integration responds to the market demand of being able to seamlessly move between design and project management environments. The SaaS platform lets CAD users in industries work in network-based, multi-dimensional collaboration which is needed in today's project management world.
