SYDNEY — (BUSINESS WIRE) — June 5, 2012 — Cadgroup, a Platinum Autodesk reseller in Australia, today announced that it has extended a strategic affiliation with CADPRO Systems in New Zealand. The association is an effort by both companies to deliver more personalised support and training to their customers in each other's region.

"It is fundamental to us that our customers receive the best possible service for their investment in Autodesk software. We wanted to deliver more personalised support to our customers in New Zealand and CADPRO Systems was an obvious choice, largely because of their strong knowledge base and the level of service they provide their customers" John Ayre Managing Director, Cadgroup.

Earlier this year Cadgroup Australia was awarded the highest Autodesk partner status, "Platinum". The status is awarded to the resellers who deliver the highest level of service to their customers. The award recognises Cadgroup's efforts in moving above and beyond customer expectations.

"The Platinum Status, recognises our commitment to our customers in delivering the best possible services, and we are extremely happy we have this opportunity to join forces with CADPRO Systems to stretch our capability to always deliver the best possible service to our customers across the Tasman" John Ayre Managing Director, Cadgroup.

CADPRO Systems is New Zealand's leading supplier of professional Computer Aided Design technology and a Gold Autodesk partner specialising in Digital Prototyping solutions for manufacturers and Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology for architects, engineers, contractors, and owner/operators.

"As New Zealand Companies are expanding more into Australia, CADPRO Systems needs to ensure that the support and service currently offered in NZ is also available in Australia and to the same level currently provided. Partnering with Cadgroup Australia provides that level of excellence. We are pleased to now be able to offer this to our customers."

The affiliation will focus on supporting all Autodesk software across the board servicing key industries which include Architecture, Building, Construction, Manufacturing, Mining, Process Plant Design and Media & Entertainment.
