FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MICRODESK BECOMES KEY SOURCE FOR COMPUTER BASED TRAINING
Complete, non-fragmented lessons key for repeatable, informal reinforcement of
Autodesk classroom training.

March 29, 2004, Waltham, MA --- Microdesk, the leading provider of Architectural, Civil/Survey,
GIS and FM solutions, has recently expanded their product offerings to include computer based
training series for the CAD, Civil and Architectural markets. Developed by 4D Technologies, and now available through Microdesk, computer based training offers specific advantages to combat some of the impediments to obtaining Autodesk training in the workplace.

Developed by industry experts with over 20 years of experience, each CBT curriculum is
created and delivered by real-life CAD professionals. These field-tested and proven training tools have allowed companies across the US to improve their employees' knowledge and skill level with an extremely high value/cost ratio. For available titles and demos, and special features, please visit: www.microdesk.com/cbts.

At times Autodesk product users neglect training for a variety of reasons. The problem,
however, is that much of the functionality of Autodesk's applications remains unknown to users,
with a resultant lack of productivity and disappointment with the return on investment made on the software.

Michael DeLacey, President of Microdesk says, "Though not a replacement for the interaction between instructor and student during regular core classroom training, CBTs provide another option by addressing the instruction need left by lack of both financial resources and time to do classroom training. These products further supplement the range of products and services
Microdesk already offers to the A/E/C arena." It's the combination of integrated solutions that
assists in providing clients with a number of ways to successfully train their staff.

Users who can't attend regular classroom training can acquire the same knowledge right at their
desktops. CBTs are also extremely useful as "reinforcement" for people who've attended
classes but didn't readily use what they learned and perhaps may have forgotten some of what
they were taught. This reinforcement helps justify the training investment. For more information, visit www.microdesk.com/cbts .
