Happy Holidays from AI MAXTools!
PTC Partner Council Update:
More on The Future of PTC Creo Elements/Direct
As a Gold Member of PTC's PartnerAdvantage program, we had the opportunity to attend the PTC PartnerAdvantage Council in October held at PTC Headquarters in Needham, MA. While there, we were able to talk briefly with Jim Heppelman, PTC President and CEO, and Mike Campbell, Executive Vice President of PTC's CAD businesses. As we've mentioned before (but it's great to get confirmation from those calling the shots), PTC is planning to continue development of PTC Creo Elements/Direct through at least 2017. Mike's quote: "Our current product roadmap includes new release development of and enhancements to PTC Creo Elements/Direct
through 2017 and beyond, with continual support."
With a solid outlook for the foreseeable future, why not make the most of your investment in PTC Creo Elements/Direct by maximizing your productivity with AI MAXTools! In the spirit of holiday giving, AI MAXTools is offering new customers a
20% discount on all product orders received by January 31, 2014.
2013 Tax Savings on Software
The IRS has extended the Section 179 Tax Deduction to allow businesses to deduct the
Full Purchase Price of qualifying software purchased during the 2013 tax year -- no depreciation required! This can result in great tax savings -- perhaps as much as 35%*!
To qualify, the software must be placed into service
on or before December 31, 2013. Learn more about
Section 179 and check out the
Section 179 Calculator.
