“MadCap’s rapid profitability and worldwide growth exemplify the strategic business value of tapping the strong technology talent in San Diego and demonstrate why MadCap Software is a model finalist for the AeA High Tech Awards,” said Kevin Carroll, executive director, AeA San Diego Council. “Not only has MadCap built a top-flight engineering team to deliver ground-breaking advances in content authoring software; it also has bucked the outsourcing trend and instead established a local technical support team to provide the superior service that fosters customer adoption and loyalty.”
“We’ve made it our mission to deliver the ultimate customer experience through next-generation content solutions and a locally based, highly experienced support team that understands our users’ needs. It is a great honor to be recognized as a 2007 AeA High Tech Award finalist for our success in delivering on that goal,” said Anthony Olivier, MadCap CEO. “Just 18 months after announcing our flagship product, Flare, it is now recognized as one of the top content authoring packages of choice. Thousands of documentation specialists are switching from traditional tools to Flare and our other groundbreaking solutions because they leverage the latest in Web and software technologies—and equally important, are supported by the most knowledgeable documentation experts in the industry.”
MadCap Flare is complemented by Capture for image capture and editing, Mimic for creating software simulation movies, Echo for creating educational podcasts, and most recently the Feedback Server (also available as a hosted service) for bringing Web 2.0-enabled collaboration between technical documentation teams and their readers.
