Update (12 August 2008): Even one of Autodesk’s resident bloggers has wondered Is there demand for SaaS in the world of CAD? – though Scott Sheppard’s answer doesn’t suggest that it’s likely anytime soon in an organisation already serving more than a million subscribers to conventionally hosted software. Still, Autodesk Labs are doing some interesting stuff with SaaS products including Project Freewheel, Project Draw (see post), Project Showroom and Autodesk Seek.
