欧特克裁员13%，谋求转型

软件开发商欧特克计划裁员1,150人，约占员工人数的13%。因为其重心将从预付费转向推动用户订购。

欧特克于上周二宣布了上述裁员消息。公司盘后交易价大跌10.4%，跌至116.10美元。

Autodesk当天声明称：“Autodesk希望通过重组精简架构，重新平衡公司资源，更好地配合公司的发展重心。”

欧特克旗下由知名三维绘图软件AutoCAD等等，在建筑、工程和制造业公司应用广泛。欧特克希望鼓励用户选择包月订购服务，可以降低部分初始成本。

总部位于旧金山的欧特克表示，裁员将导致1.35亿到1.49亿美元成本。

除了宣布裁员，上周二欧特克还公布，今年第三季度营业收入同比增长5%，增至5.15亿美元，当季净亏损额由1.428亿美元下降至1.198亿美元。

上周二的裁员计划距上一次裁员并不久，之前是2016年2月。当时裁员925人，占员工人数的10%。(财富中文网)

Software maker Autodesk plans to cut 1,150 jobs, or 13% of its workforce, as it shifts focus to selling its products on a subscription basis instead of mostly charging for them upfront.

Shares in the company fell 10.4% in after hours trading on Tuesday to $116.10 following the announcement.

“Through the restructuring, Autodesk seeks to streamline the organization and re-balance resources to better align with the company’s priorities,” Autodesk said in a statement.

Autodesk’s software like its 3-D imaging AutoCAD is widely used by architecture, construction, and manufacturing firms. The plan is to get customers to pay monthly subscription fees for the software, eliminating some of the initial cost.

Autodesk, based outside San Francisco, said the job cuts would cost it $135 million to $149 million.

In addition to announcing the layoffs on Tuesday, the company reported 5% growth in third-quarter revenue to $515 million. Losses narrowed to $119.8 million from $142.8 million.

The cuts disclosed on Tuesday follow a previous layoff, announced in February 2016. Those cuts impacted 925 workers, or 10% of the overall workforce.
