“We are excited about selling into the education market in South Carolina,” said Richard Burroughs, president of Applied Software. “Not only does this provide wonderful expansion opportunities for us, but we’re eager to work closely with South Carolina’s college and high school educators to bring more skilled 2D and 3D design software users into the workforce.”

Through decades of working with educational institutions in Georgia and North Carolina, Applied Software has developed Autodesk product training programs tailored for educators. These programs leverage the company’s product knowledge, industry-specific expertise and teaching experience to not only train professors and teachers on how to use the products, but also on how to instruct students for the best results.

“Applied Software has been a great partner for us,” said Lee Green, director of the Chester County Career Center. “They have been very responsive, and we’ve really benefited from their software training classes that focus on how to introduce students to 2D and 3D design applications in the classroom.”

Premier Solutions Providers represent the top tier of the Autodesk Value Added Reseller (VAR) channel. They have met a series of stringent criteria and have a proven track record of outstanding customer service.
