Corel Corporation's success is built on its ability to deliver cutting-edge technology to the desktops of computer users around the world—ahead of its competitors. From its early years as a pioneer in the ../graphics software field to its current innovations in business and Internet software, Corel has consistently developed products that respond to evolving consumer needs.
Since its foundation by Dr. Michael Cowpland in 1985, Corel has maintained an impressive growth rate by developing products known for excellence and value that target emerging trends in the software industry.
In 1992, to coincide with the launch of Windows® 3.0, Corel introduced the first ../graphics suite. As a competitively priced, all-in-one solution, CorelDRAW™ 3 established the company as a world leader in ../graphics software. Corel now holds over 85% market share in the Windows® illustration market*. In 1995, CorelDRAW 6 was launched simultaneously with Windows® 95 and was the first major 32-bit application to be available for the new operating system. Another milestone in this product's development history was reached in 1996 with the release of the first ../graphics suite for the Macintosh® user—CorelDRAW 6 Suite for Power Macintosh®. The growing CorelDRAW product line for the PC continues to attract major industry accolades and has won more than 260 first-place international awards to date.
In 1996, Corel broadened its focus when it acquired the renowned WordPerfect family of business applications. The company has carefully re-engineered this world-class software into a market-leading line of powerful productivity suites.
Corel's ability to diversify its product offerings in response to consumer demand is also evident in its comprehensive selection of Web ../graphics and authoring tools. In 1996, Corel positioned itself at the forefront of the Internet revolution by harnessing the power of Java™. Users have already reaped the benefits of this revolutionary technology in the company's recent office suite releases.
Over the years Corel has diversified its product line to include ../graphics software, business applications, and Internet and Java tools. This strategic diversification has allowed Corel to become a leader in the productivity applications market while remaining focused on:
Access to Breakthrough Technology
The Internet is changing how people work and communicate—and Corel is leading the way by providing software that helps them stay ahead in a competitive world. The latest release of the award-winning Corel® WordPerfect® Suite includes built-in Internet tools that go beyond standard Web publishing to let users collaborate over the intranet/Internet. Corel's business applications and ../graphics software also include support for HTML and Java publishing. With the company's unique proprietary Java technology, Corel Barista™, users can put their files on the Web with the click of a button—keeping all the layout and formatting intact.
Most organizations rely on a variety of computer platforms to get work done. In response to that reality, Corel provides a variety of software solutions that make the latest technologies available without requiring an upgrade in hardware and operating systems. Corel offers business and ../graphics products for many platforms, including Windows® 95, Windows NT®, Windows® 3.1x, Macintosh®, DOS and UNIX.
Corel is currently on the forefront of the latest wave in computing technology—Java. The company is developing Java tools that will make it easier than ever to break through the barriers inherent in a multiplatform computing environment. With Corel's latest technologies, code-named Remagen and Alta, a single version of a software application will be able to run on any type of networked, desktop computer.
Many businesses have unique software needs. Corel has addressed the needs of users in three key sectors with the release of customized editions of Corel® WordPerfect® Suite for the legal, medical and construction fields. These suites offer all the power of Corel software along with specialized forms, templates and resources, giving users instant access to the tools they need.
