News
Autodesk has announced two new directors for the ANZ and ASEAN regions respectively. This new structure recognises the differences in these regions, and the focused leadership will cater to each region’s unique business requirements.

Sivadas

Sivadas Ramadas is the newly appointed Regional Director for ASEAN. Siva brings a wealth of experience to this newly created position. In addition to his successful career at Autodesk as Strategic Sales Director, SEAPAC, he spent 13 years at Compaq/HP, where his final position was Vice President, Corporate Sales-Personal Systems Group for Asia Pacific and Japan. In addition, he has extensive management experience covering ASEAN sales and operations, channel development and management, systems integrators, consulting and product marketing.

Frank

Frank Sgammotta is the newly appointed Regional Director for ANZ. Frank’s strength in team and people management backed by over 20 years experience in sales and marketing, combined with his passion for the business made him the natural choice for this position.

The Results

  • Decreased design time on rework or work-in-progress for crucial projects
  • Reduced errors by 50 percent on initial designs through better visualisation
  • Achieved "first-time-right" design during tight lead times
  • "With Autodesk Inventor, we are able to make decisions in the earlier stage of the product development process, which puts us on the right track.
    "And with its built-in data management capability, Autodesk Vault will help us manage our design revision and tracking."

    Infrastructure Solutions
    KRTC (Korean Railroad Technical Corporation) cuts design time by up to 20% with Autodesk Civil 3D to be globally competitive.

    "We chose Autodesk Civil 3D because it dynamically links each design object. That allows us to easily meet different requirements for each project or contractor in 3D - and to reduce the time and cost associated with modifying designs."
    Kun-Yeol Sung, Structural Design Team Manager, KRTC

    Collaboration Solutions
    Woolworths has a vision: to build distribution centres across Australia which will keep 700 supermarkets fully stocked at all times.

    With the help of Autodesk Collaboration Services, Woolworths intends to keep its shelves stocked by building 11 new strategically located inventory distribution centres throughout the country. By using Autodesk Buzzsaw, design and construction teams efficiently coordinate resources and information, and as a result the distribution centres are successfully opening on compressed timelines. Slashing design time by 20%, reducing errors and increasing accountability means Woolworths' customers never run out of products.
