SmartDraw Targets Corporate I.T. Users with Lifeboat Distribution
San Diego, CA.—May 27, 2008 - SmartDraw.com, creator of SmartDraw, the world's most popular business graphics software, announced today that it has entered a new relationship with Lifeboat Distribution, an international specialty software distributor for virtualization and other technically sophisticated products. Lifeboat Distribution, which has a proven track record for penetrating the corporate I.T. business community, will distribute SmartDraw to its global network of resellers and solution providers.
SmartDraw is the first program that automates the process of creating business graphics such as flowcharts, network diagrams, presentation charts, and more. Each year more than two million people install and use SmartDraw, and the company counts more than half of the members of the Fortune 500 as loyal customers. Corporate I.T. Directors around the world praise SmartDraw's usability and claim it delivers increased productivity, improved communication and fewer help desk requests.
"We're pleased to offer SmartDraw to our network of resellers and solution providers," said Patrick Castenie, Sales Director at LifeBoat Distribution. "Its ease-of-use, price point and excellent selection of features help today's fast-growing companies save time and increase productivity."
Unlike other graphics programs that provide you with a blank screen and expect you to draw, like Visio®, with SmartDraw you start with a template that is specifically designed to create the type of illustration you need. You enter the information and SmartDraw does the rest: building the graphic automatically using built-in rules and professional design themes to guarantee polished, presentation-quality results in just a few minutes. It draws for you! And, in the rare case that users need extra help, SmartDraw offers free customer support to all users.
"We're delighted to partner with Lifeboat, which has demonstrated its ability to reach decision makers in I.T. departments in major companies through its worldwide reseller network," said Todd Savitt, SmartDraw.com Chief Sales Officer. "We look forward to a long and prosperous relationship."
