  11. Post Vendor Summit Several actions have been taken after the summit. • Project Manager Summit • Held before FY13 projects start, to encourage the face to face communications among Autodesk Program Managers and Vendor Project Managers. • Tools Evaluation: • Autodesk started to looking for more simplified project management tool to improve collaboration. The vendor Project Managers will be invited to take part in this evaluation. This is a very good practice that vendors can be involved before any new tools are introduced. • Platform Enhancement: • Autodesk continuously improves the integrated platform like GMS (WorldServer +Trisoft). • Vendors often found that the platform offers increasing productivities since actions and improvements are constantly driven and executed by Autodesk.
