This week SmartDraw Software added two new editions of
SmartDraw 2012: Business and Enterprise. Both of the new editions build on the
features and functionality of the SmartDraw 2012 Standard Edition, adding new
powerful features that businesses have been requesting. We have already gotten
a lot of positive feedback about our new product line, but we wanted to back up
to explain why we made this choice and discuss what is ahead.
As SmartDraw has grown, we have had an increasing number of
requests for more powerful business features. Recently we took a hard look at
our product today, thought about the direction we are heading, and what our
customers want. We realized that we have different types of SmartDraw users and
some of our more advanced features are not relevant to everyone. So, rather
than burden our Standard Edition, we decided to add two new editions, each with an
increasing number of more powerful features. This will not only allow us to
maintain the product that our customers have come to know and love at a low
price, but also allow us to continue to grow and develop SmartDraw while still
offering the same level of support we always have to our current and future
customers.
The 2012 Standard Edition is specifically designed to
improve project collaboration, communication, and implementation with a number
of new features. The Business Edition takes this even further giving our
business customers a powerful new way to create visual PowerPoint presentations
and easy integration with SharePoint. Targeted toward project managers and
their teams, the Enterprise Edition includes even more advanced features, including
the ability to import/export capability with Microsoft Project, the ability to
import files from Microsoft Visio, and the ability to build and share Visual
Process Management (VPM) collections.
But this is only the beginning! While we plan to continue to
improve all of our editions, we have even more in store for the Business and
Enterprise Editions. So, for our customers who purchase Business or Enterprise
Editions, we decided to include one year of free Platinum Protection,
SmartDraw’s maintenance plan. This means all of our coming improvements and new
updates to project planning and workgroups are included at no extra cost!
Our new product line allows us to keep the pricing of
SmartDraw 2012 Standard Edition at a low $197 per license. As a special offer
to our existing customers who purchase by February 17th, 2012, we
are offering the ability to buy up to 10 copies of SmartDraw 2012 at the
Standard Edition price and we’ll give them the Enterprise Edition for free.
This is a savings of $300 per copy and a steal, since this means you will also
be getting the free year of Platinum Protection! Plus, for a limited time, we
will be offering a discounted upgrade to our Enterprise Edition of $99 until
February 17th, 2012. To order at these special prices, customers can
contact SmartDraw at 1-800-768-3729.
Furthermore, if you have not yet purchased SmartDraw, but
downloaded a trial after August 1, 2011, we’ll offer you these same deals
in pricing until February 17, 2012!
