Autodesk has recruited 40 new partners in Saudi Arabia in the past three months, to help in combating software piracy.
The CAD software specialist has extended its channel in the Kingdom, in order to give potential customers more opportunities to consult with the company and its channel partners, to buy valid licensed software, and to receive support for the products.
