New company messaging reflects changes in CAD technology, industry climate

We’re introducing a new slogan that aptly describes the action we would like our customers to take:

It’s time to make the move from 2D to 3D design, in order to stay competitive and reduce product design costs. It’s time to make the move to Hagerman & Company as your CAD supplier, to receive the award-winning service and support that keeps our customers coming back for more.

You may have noticed that the number of CAD suppliers is shrinking. This is due to many factors, but, in the end, the CAD VARs such as ourselves who furnish top-quality talent and customer service are winning against the box pushers. Autodesk, for example, is requiring levels of investment in technical personnel that are just unthinkable to some of the price-oriented resellers, but are a given for the top-quality players. This is forcing a number of the former to sell out to the latter, in a secular movement that is unprecedented in the history of the CAD VAR channel.

Obviously, we welcome this development and look forward to additional expansion over the coming months. If you’ve been displaced by your former CAD VAR, or if you just would like to have real technical support and expertise available to you, we do invite you now to “Make the Move” to Autodesk’s 2006 Channel Partner of the Year – Hagerman & Company, Inc.
