LA JOLLA, CA, July 19, 2011 (Press-News.org) Business users take advantage of trial software so they can understand exactly what they are purchasing, but they still have to buy support plans on blind faith. One company is changing that. MadCap Software, Inc. (http://www.madcapsoftware.com), the leader in multi-channel content authoring and a showcase company for Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Visual Studio and Microsoft XPS, today announced that every 30-day free trial version of its technical communications software now also comes with a 30-day free trial of MadCap's Gold Level technical support. Gold Level support during the 30-day trial period includes four free telephone inquiries to technical support engineers during business hours.
The trial support rollout is part of a MadCap tradition in challenging common software company practices. In March 2006, MadCap introduced MadCap Flare, the next generation in XML-based authoring software for single-source multi-channel publishing to print, desktop, Web and most recently mobile. The innovative architecture has enabled MadCap to rapidly release a comprehensive suite of tightly integrated technical communications and translation software, which have been leading the industry in innovative features and functionality since inception.
At the same time, while other providers of technical communications software have moved their development and support groups offshore, MadCap has invested in building an extensive US team of developers and support professionals with years of technical communications and documentation industry expertise. These moves have led to strong customer satisfaction and loyalty, which have enabled MadCap to maintain profitability and double-digit growth since the first month that MadCap's flagship Flare software launched five years ago.
"From the start, our mission at MadCap Software has been to deliver the ultimate customer experience in using technical communications software. This means not only delivering groundbreaking software products, but also backing them with superior technical support," said MadCap Founder and CEO Anthony Olivier. "In launching our free MadCap trial support program, we're giving users an opportunity to road test our product support and see why technical communications and documentation professionals around the world have made MadCap their provider of choice."
Olivier added, "When companies are considering the purchase of a technical authoring product, they need to know the company is backed with experienced support professionals who care. Both products and support contribute to the total customer experience, and too few providers are concerned about the customer experience after the purchase. We continue to step up the game, and by combining trial products with trial support, we provide business users with a complete real-world experience before they buy."
Customers Praise MadCap Support
"A discussion of MadCap Flare would not be complete without referencing the fantastic support available for it," says Picis Documentation Manager Adrian Morse. "MadCap goes to great lengths to listen to its customers and act on suggestions. There also is a vibrant and extremely helpful user community."
"MadCap support is amazing--with extremely helpful and patient people that work with you until all your questions are answered," notes Radical Blue Gaming Director of Communications Samantha Ascheri-Phillips. "Having dealt with poor support, I can't tell you how happy that makes me."
"I must say that the MadCap support team is the best I've seen in nearly 20 years in the software industry," says Mitchell International, Inc. Senior Technical Writer Don Rasky. "I call, I ask, and MadCap techs have the solution!"
"The responsiveness that Madcap technical support demonstrates is incredible," said Senior Documentation Specialist Cathy Tenga. "I feel that I've come to know several of the MadCap staff as if they were working alongside me. Learning all that Flare can do has been an exciting process, and whenever I find myself in over my head, someone at MadCap has always been able to guide me. I've never received such personal attention from any software company in my many years in documentation."

Rapid venom evolution in pit vipers may be defensive
2011-07-19
Research published recently in PLoS One delivers new insight about rapid toxin evolution in venomous snakes: pitvipers such as rattlesnakes may be engaged in an arms race with opossums, a group of snake-eating American marsupials. Although some mammals have long been known to eat venomous snakes, this fact has not been factored into previous explanations for the rapid evolution of snake venom. Instead, snake venom is usually seen as a feeding, or trophic, adaptation. But new molecular research on snake-eating opossums by researchers affiliated with the American Museum of ...
Cadmium selenide quantum dots degrade in soil, releasing their toxic guts, study finds
2011-07-19
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Quantum dots made from cadmium and selenium degrade in soil, unleashing toxic cadmium and selenium ions into their surroundings, a University at Buffalo study has found.
The research, accepted for publication in the journal Environmental Science and Technology, demonstrates the importance of learning more about how quantum dots -- and other nanomaterials -- interact with the environment after disposal, said Diana Aga, the chemistry professor who led the study.
Quantum dots are semiconductor nanocrystals with diameters of about 2 to 100 nanometers. ...

The new paper by Professor Yizhi Jane Tao, postdoctoral researcher Jinhui Dong and their colleagues was published in today's online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Tao's Rice lab specializes in gleaning fine details of viral structures through X-ray crystallography and computer ...

IBD, LCPD health research in 'Westie' dogs may hold answers to similar human diseases
2011-07-19
The Westie Foundation of America (WFA) announced
today preliminary findings in two major studies involving the health of West Highland White Terriers also
known as Westies. Findings in these and other studies of Westies and other dogs
may hold answers for similar human conditions like Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). The studies are

In one study, researchers are looking at the role of a mucosal gene driving inflammation Canine IBD, a
chronic intestinal disorder that creates a bacterial-driven ...
Decisions, decisions, decisions ...
2011-07-19
We all make numerous decisions everyday; unconsciously or consciously, sometimes doing it automatically with little effort or thinking and yet, at other times, we agonize for hours over another. Why do we make these choices – be it from deciding what to have for lunch or whether to say yes to that job offer halfway round the world. Sometimes we make choices on our own, and at other times, the choice is made for us. Exercising control (by making choices) is adaptive and now, a new study, which will be published in an upcoming issue of Psychological Science, a journal of ...

Key metabolic pathway implicated in intractable form of breast cancer
2011-07-19
FINDINGS: Using a new in vivo screening system, Whitehead Institute researchers have identified a protein in a key metabolic pathway that is essential in estrogen receptor (ER)-negative breast cancer. When the expression of the gene that codes for this protein—phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase or PHGDH—is suppressed in tumors and cell lines with an overabundance of the protein, the rate of cellular growth declines markedly.
RELEVANCE: PHGDH is overexpressed in approximately 70% of ER-negative breast cancer patients. Patients with ER-negative disease respond poorly to treatment ...
Penn researchers find neural signature of 'mental time travel'
2011-07-19
PHILADELPHIA — Almost everyone has experienced one memory triggering another, but explanations for that phenomenon have proved elusive. Now, University of Pennsylvania researchers have provided the first neurobiological evidence that memories formed in the same context become linked, the foundation of the theory of episodic memory.
The research was conducted by professor Michael Kahana of the Department of Psychology in the School of Arts and Sciences and graduate student Jeremy R. Manning, of the Neuroscience Graduate Group in Penn's Perelman School of Medicine. They ...
