Me curious to know the background of a company Jasc after you register two copies of the original program PaintShop Pro version X, and is only a few strokes on the keyboard at the site of Googleplex until she found the name of the man who founded the company in his spare time, then give up a seat Director of Power takes the company to the ranks of professional companies, and eventually sold it to Corel Corporation, said that the pilot: Robert Voight.
Traces its beginnings to enter pilot Captain Robert Voigt in the world of computer software production to 1990 when he was 30 years old at the time, and works as a pilot on a commercial passenger aircraft on the lines of the North West Company of America. Robert took advantage of periods of rest in the first follow-up to his hobby: digital photography. Although the work of Robert was flying, but his passion was the first computer science, which I like to experience programs that were to allow it to modify digital photos and "print" these images through his own computer. The idea of a simple and humble beginning, designed Robert program simple contained a set of editing functions images digitally, and put to download e-system involvement and experience in the era before the Internet, which was dominated by electronic bulletin BBS, which called for users to experience the program that he called the place of coloring or PaintShop and present their views and suggestions which it. [Beginning of the program Photo Shop was famous in 1989 - before the beginning of Robert one year].
What was the cost of the beginning of Robert? Only paper, envelopes, stamps, used to print the codes registration program for users who decided to purchase the program. Through these codes, users can disable the message in the program they reminded them of the need to buy it. Despite the declaration of Robert for his company "Software Jacek" (an acronym for the phrase: Jets And Software Company, which meant the carrier and software) in 1991 in the city of Minnetonka in the state of Minnesota of America, but he continued to work as a pilot business for four years and then, he says, for the period : "I go to fly, and then come back to my house to find a list of applications for registration, to do my work to meet them and answer them." In April 1992, hired Robert as his assistant shall respond to telephone calls, and follow up on customer requests, giving Robert more time to spend on programming.
Demand for use of the Internet and was known and meaningful one for Robert activity: a lot more of the additional requests. Depending on the proposals and the views of users of the program, went to Robert a copy of his latest called Pro (professional version) and continued to sell under the principle of participation and experience. Robert asserts that without the Internet, which helped him strongly on the marketing and distribution platform, I need to command him to obtain an amount of six figures to follow the marketing strategy that was the achievements of the Internet revolution.
That Robert decided in 1997 that it had reached the stage of the distribution of catalogs for its programs on stores that sell programs, as a way to run a parallel distribution for distribution via the Internet. Then the Paint Shop Pro has proven to his feet and established, as the number of users 80 thousand, and the number of employees 40 staff, and the excesses of the proceeds of the company's annual 6 million and a half dollars, as claimed program of encouragement and praise, thanks and gratitude from the press and Internet sites concerned. Welcomed the distributors and the companies selling software to the present resolution and, therefore, not surprising that ranks the company in 1998 when ranked 161 in the list of 500 fastest growing U.S. company, the company's sales also continued to increase until it reached the end of this year nearly 17 million U.S. dollars.
In February of 1998 Robert Voight decided to step down from the post of director of the company, clearing the way for his successor, Chris Tveto about the company and that of novice to professional, and company based on a simple idea to a company compete with corporate giants such as Adobe and Corel. Science Robert also in his heart that the company is in need of what is more, in order to compete better in the market, so in 2004, has been selling the company entirely to Corel Corporation (designed and produced programs such as Corel Draw and Paint developer bundle for current WordPerfect Office and many others, a they in turn have been sold in the year before to a large investment).
Within ten years, turned a simple idea to a big company achieved revenues that exceed $ 30 million, which adopted the proposals of the users and their views to develop and deliver all that is new. Today sold the full version of the program at $ 99 for electronic version, and $ 109 for the actual copy (CD-ROM with manual in a cardboard box) and the price to upgrade from a previous version is about $ 49.
