We are delighted to announce that our product, Visual Paradigm for UML (VP-UML), is the winner of Dr. Dobb's Jolt Award 2011 in the Design, Architecture, and Planning Tools category. For the past 20 years, the prestigious Jolt Awards are given each year to recognize software development tools that have "jolted" the industry in how effective, efficient and simple-to-use they are. And the winners are selected by a panel of distinguished judges made up of industry gurus and software development editors and columnists. Past winners include IBM's Rational Software Architect and Borland's Together Designer, to name a few.
