Committed to delivering continuous value for Media & Entertainment
“In meetings with customers, I am delighted when they share positive feedback about our products but appreciate it most when they openly tell me what their pain points are and how we can help them. This helps us make our products stronger, allowing artists to focus on being creative and producers and supervisors to better manage their work. The Media & Entertainment group at Autodesk is committed to listening to our customers and sharing our product roadmaps and vision for the future.”
