What does Autodesk's new purchasing process mean for you?
We've gathered everything you need to know on this page to ensure you have a smooth experience.
What will change?
Your final quotes and invoices related to Autodesk products will come directly from Autodesk via email, similar to the current process for Autodesk Flex customers.
What will not change is that NTI will continue to send quotes, clarify needs and support you as before.
How to prepare:
Be prepared to receive and pay invoices directly from Autodesk instead of NTI. If your company has a purchasing team, they may require you to register Autodesk as a supplier before you can handle your invoices from Autodesk. You can register Autodesk as a supplier on this page. If invoices are not paid on time, you may risk losing access to your Autodesk software.
Below you will find some of the most frequently asked questions. If you have any further questions, as always, you are welcome to contact your contact person at NTI.
