With so much money not earning much in terms of interest the executives at Autodesk must be itching to pull the trigger on “strategic acquisitions”. Autodesk has $2.5 billion in the bank.Now with the acquisition of a CAM company, they are trying to walk up the value chain and be considered as one of the big boys. Autodesk recently announced a PLM product after arguing for a long time that PLM was not necessary for their customers. Both of these companies also have full blown PLM offerings as well. In the case of Dassault Systems, it is Catia & SolidWorks while in the case of Siemens it is the NX & SolidEdge.
