MADCAP SOFTWARE AWARDED BY ASSOCIATION OF SUPPORT PROFESSIONALS FOR HAVING ONE OF INDUSTRY’S TEN BEST
WEB SUPPORT SITES
MadCap’s Online Support Recognized for Excellence in Design, Customer Experience, Usability and
Interactivity
La Jolla, CA – April 29, 2008
– MadCap Software, the leader in
multi-channel content authoring and a showcase company for Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Visual Studio 2005 and
Microsoft XPS, today announced that its website has been named one of the “Ten Best Web Support
Sites” of 2008 by the Association of Support Professionals (ASP).
Each year, the prestigious ASP award recognizes the ten companies that best exemplify excellence in online
service and support. Key factors include a best-in-class approach to overall usability, design and navigation;
interactive features; knowledgebase and search implementation; and customer experience. In addition to MadCap
Software, some of the other companies awarded were Cisco Systems, Dell, Intuit, Juniper Networks, McAfee, and
Novell.
“As MadCap and our other 2008 winners demonstrate, Web support has come a long, long way in the past
decade," says ASP executive director Jeffrey Tarter. "The industry has learned how to deliver a huge amount of
information and support services in a form that engages and delights customers—and every year, the
standard of excellence rises even higher.”
MadCap’s website and the other nine winning sites will be profiled in a book called "The Ten Best Web
Support Sites of 2008," to be published by ASP in June.
“At MadCap, we are equally committed to providing state-of-the-art, XML-based authoring software for
creating world-class Web support sites and to delivering the gold standard in online support and services to
our customers,” said Anthony Olivier, MadCap CEO. “We are very honored to be recognized as a winner
of the ASP’s prestigious ‘Ten Best Web Support Sites’ award. It highlights, not only the superior,
Web 2.0-enabled online support experience we bring to customers, but also the rich functionality enabled by our
MadCap authoring and analysis products, which provide the foundation of our Web-based support.”
