Computer Aided Technology Launches Strategic Partner Program
Top Selling SolidWorks Reseller to Create Referral Network

 BUFFALO GROVE, IL, April 11, 2002  - Computer Aided Technology, Inc., (CATI), the Nation’s No. 1 SolidWorks integrator, announced today that they have launched the CATI Strategic Partner Program (CSP).  Rather than addressing just the technology needs of a client or prospect, CATI is offering a complete solution of products, people and process knowledge-without diluting focus. 

The goal of the CSP Program is to empower an existing community of Midwest technology businesses, primarily but not limited to SolidWorks users, and allow that network to flourish by putting a medium in place that allows clients to quickly find a specific service offering. This includes, but is not limited to the implementation/consulting, design/engineering services and staffing needs to successfully move to an integrated CAD/CAE/CAM/PDM/CPC environment. There is no charge to become a CSP. The only requirement is that you meet the application criteria.

“In today’s economic climate, just providing technology solutions is not enough,” comments Richard Werneth, CATI Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “It is our vision to offer unique, long-term value to our customers and partners while maintaining a laser focus on the engineering and manufacturing communities. The CSP Program is only one facet of this constant evolution.”

Companies can be searched and information on becoming a CSP can be found at the CATI website, http://www.cati.com/csp/csp.htm
