Syncfusion named to the SD Times 100
Syncfusion recognized as a leader

Research Triangle Park, NC - June 9, 2006  - Syncfusion, Inc. today announced that it has been named to the 2006 SD Times 100.  This prestigious annual list identifies the "Best of the Best," and Syncfusion has again been recognized as a component company that has demonstrated great leadership in the software development industry.  This honor was awarded based on the innovation demonstrated through the strength of Syncfusion's Essential Studio package, a collection of enterprise-class Windows Forms and ASP.NET components for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET developers.

The SD Times 100 list identifies Syncfusion as one of the top organizations in the Components, Libraries, and Frameworks category.  SD Times editors highlighted the broad range of components that Syncfusion offers, noting that the Essential Studio package is composed of "essential tools [that] reach into Visual Studio with calculation, data grid, HTML UI, charts, graphics, PDF, and more.  If it's essential to show the data, Syncfusion makes it happen."

"The winners of this year's SD Times 100 awards have demonstrated their leadership in shaping the software development industry," said David Rubinstein, Editor-in-Chief of SD Times.  "We took into account each nominee's products and services, its reputation among development managers, and the new ideas it brought out.  These select individuals and organizations are the ones we've identified as helping to move the art of development forward."

"We are truly honored to be recognized by SD Times as a force for advancement in the component industry," said Syncfusion CEO Stefan Hoenig.  "The strength and breadth of Syncfusion Essential Studio and the technological gains that have been made in the suite over the past year, such as the addition of AJAX-enabled controls and support for Visual Studio 2005, determined our being named as winners.  We are thrilled to have our efforts noticed, and awards such as this only galvanize our team to press forward on the course we have laid out.  Syncfusion aims to drive the .NET industry forward with our dedication to technical excellence and to addressing the real-world needs of developers."
