    LA JOLLA, CA, September 28, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- 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 it has been selected as a finalist for the 16th Annual TechAmerica (formerly AeA) High Tech Awards in the highly competitive "Software" category. MadCap will be recognized along with other finalists when TechAmerica San Diego announces its award winners on October 30, 2009.

The TechAmerica High Tech Awards recognize outstanding local technology companies for their achievements in technological innovation, operational accomplishment, and community contribution. TechAmerica cited MadCap Software's native XML documentation family, which offers unprecedented integration to provide a complete content workflow, and the company's ability to drive profitable growth and increase its market share while centering its engineering and support teams in La Jolla, CA.

"MadCap's innovation, growing market share worldwide, and profitability during one of the toughest economic environments in decades demonstrate why MadCap Software is a model finalist for the TechAmerica High Tech Awards," said Kevin Carroll, executive director, TechAmerica San Diego. "Significantly, MadCap has achieved this success by tapping the deep bench of talent in San Diego County to build a world-class engineering team that is delivering ground-breaking software advances, as well as a seasoned local technical support team to provide superior service."

"From the start, our mission has been 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 2009 TechAmerica High Tech Award finalist for our success in delivering on that goal," said Anthony Olivier, MadCap CEO. "Thousands of customers--many of them Global 1000 companies--are choosing our state-of-the-art applications over traditional tools to tap the latest in Web and software technologies and gain the support of the most knowledgeable documentation experts in the industry. As a result, just three years after delivering our flagship product, Flare, independent surveys now recognize it as technical writers' number one authoring solution."
