ATLANTA, Oct. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Applied Software®, a leading systems integrator to the AEC, Construction and Manufacturing industries, announced today the acquisition of Enceptia® (formerly known as DC CADD), a design technology firm that provides innovative solutions to building, fabrication, infrastructure and manufacturing companies. In addition to establishing Applied Software as the leading construction technology systems integrator in North America, the acquisition also forms the largest Autodesk® reseller serving the architectural, engineering and manufacturing design community in the contiguous Southern United States.

"We're combining the talents, relationships and technologies of two of the leading companies in the industry to offer a complete package for the North American construction market, supporting solutions from design to field to hand over," said Richard Burroughs, president of Applied Software. "The acquisition will enable us to better serve our customers throughout North America in many ways, including enhanced services, access to more robust consulting resources and a broad range of products from a single source."
