With each release of its AutoCAD software, Autodesk spent significant amounts of money mailing CD-ROMs to existing and potential customers. Although a standard technique for introducing new software, Autodesk wanted to reduce its delivery costs, accelerate and increase sales, and reduce the risk of software piracy. To meet these business goals, Autodesk deployed an application delivery solution offered by Endeavors Technology. The new solution, Magi Application Express, derives its scalability, ease of management, and near 100-percent availability from Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, SQL Server, and Internet Information Services (IIS) Web server. With this solution, Autodesk achieved ROI within six months, continues to slash expenses, and reports increased and accelerated sales.
