ZURICH, Switzerland, September 7 /PRNewswire/ --

Corum Group Ltd., the global leader in merger and acquisition services to
software and information technology companies worldwide, is pleased to
announce the acquisition of its client, NavisWorks, a United Kingdom-based
developer of 3D digital designs in the building, plant and marine markets, by
Autodesk, Inc., a Calif.-based provider of design software to the
manufacturing, building and construction, and media and entertainment
markets.

"The combination of NavisWorks and Autodesk technology is an excellent
match," said Peter Thompson, CEO, NavisWorks. "Our products augment the
coordinated, consistent and computable information produced by the Revit
platform for building information modeling and can aggregate that information
with data from other sources, including AutoCAD, Inventor, Civil 3D as well
as many non-AutoCAD products, to build the most complete understanding
possible of the overall project."

"This transaction was a logical evolution of the symbiotic relationship
that had developed prior to the deal," added Miro Parizek, managing director,
Corum Group International. "Now Autodesk can fully integrate the additional
visualization tools NavisWorks had developed mostly for Autodesk users."
