Receipt of Prestigious Award Lands Visio Enterprise on Short
List of Industry Elite
SEATTLE, May 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Visio Corp. (Nasdaq:
VSIO) today announced that Visio(R) Enterprise 5.0, launched
in October 1998, has been honored by Software Development
magazine with a Jolt Hall of Fame Award. The Jolt awards
were presented earlier this week at the Software Development
'99 West Conference in San Francisco.
"The Jolt Hall of Fame Award represents the highest level of
recognition for our efforts in support of software developers,"
said Leslie Grandy, director of the application development and
management customer unit at Visio. "With Visio Enterprise, we
believe we have delivered a robust suite of affordable and
accessible application development tools that markedly increase
productivity. It thrills us to see that the industry agrees."
Jolt Awards are given to products that "jolt" the industry with
their significance and make the difficult task of creating
corporate software faster, easier and more efficient. The Jolt
Hall of Fame Award is presented in honor of development tools
that "continue to provide jolts of productivity to development
teams with each new release." In the nine-year history of the
Jolt Awards, only Visio Enterprise and two other products,
Microsoft Visual Basic and Compuware Numega's
BoundsChecker, have been inducted into the Jolt Hall of Fame.
"Visio has won numerous honors in the design and management
category," said Roger Smith, technical editor at Software
Development. "Developers find Visio to be an indispensable
application for modeling everything from business processes to
complex system architectures."
