GUEST, unregistred user!
No chads. No dimples. No butterfly ballots. You voted, we tallied. There were
no lawsuits, no recounts. We even eschewed the hand count in favor of our
automated system. Go figure - a system that works, in this day and age.
A benefit to all involved, this year marks the first time we've conducted
the Delphi Informant Magazine readers choice balloting completely online.
There were no physical ballot boxes to "misplace" or stuff (not that some
of you didn't try - you know who you are). With the ease of voting quickly
and conveniently on the Web, there was no electoral dysfunction, no premature
congratulations from any of the runners-up. Put simply, we know who won
without the aid of the Supreme Court, lobbyists, or manual recounts.
Reflecting the spirit of its audience, the Delphi third-party market is ever
changing, reacting to myriad influences in the industry. This year's ballot
reflects those changes with new products and new categories. The result is
an interesting mix of old and new, and exhibits an exciting dynamic that
we've come to expect in the Delphi community.
Best Accounting Package
What better way to kick off tallying the Delphi Informant Magazine Readers
Choice Awards than with your choice for best accounting package? After tying
for second place last year, Accounting for Delphi by ColumbuSoft is the first
winner in this year's balloting, garnering 39 percent of the popular vote.
A very respectable second place went to newcomer BS/1 Professional by Davis
Business Systems, which received 21 percent of the votes.
Best Add-in
Replicating last year's results, CodeRush from Eagle Software attained
top honors with 52 percent of the votes, while Multi-Edit from American
Cybernetics took second with 17 percent. There seems to be a trend here.
Best Book
It was a slow year for Delphi books; only four were published since
last year's Awards. With 43 percent of the votes, you placed Delphi
in a Nutshell by the venerable Ray Lischner (O'Reilly & Assoc.) at
the top of the stack. Second was Delphi COM by Eric Harmon (Macmillan)
with 35 percent. Let's hope that 2001 brings far more many titles.
Best Charting/Mapping Tool
Blazing a trail for the second consecutive year, teeChartPro from
Steema Software took top honors. A perennial favorite (they also won this
category in 1999 when it was Best Charting/Imaging Tool), teeChartPro was
again the runaway winner on 65 percent of the ballots cast. Making a
respectable second-place showing in its debut on the ballot was ExpressOrgChart
Suite from Developer Express with 16 percent of the votes.
Best Communications Tool
Leading the way by exhibiting consistency, Async Professional
by TurboPower Software certainly is the communications tool to beat.
Making a statement with a comfortable 56 percent of the votes,
Async Professional wins this category for the third year running
(this is the second year on the ballot for this category in this
permutation; three years ago it was known as Best Connectivity Tool).
With 28 percent of the votes, a surprise second place goes to Indy
by Chad Hower. This newcomer is sending a message: no lead is safe.
Best Database Connectivity
Duplicating last year's results, this category was again won by IB Objects
from Jason Wharton, with 27 percent of the votes, followed by ASTA Technology
Group's ASTA, with 20 percent. These two perennial favorites are establishing
quite a rivalry. Can ASTA turn it up a notch in the coming year to get that
last little boost it needs to grab top honors?
Best Database Engine
Coming off a third-place finish last year, Advantage Database Server from
Extended Systems grabbed 28 percent of the votes to win top honors. Improving
on last year's fourth-place finish, and coming in a close second with 25
percent of the votes, was DBISAM Database System from Elevate Software. The
competition in this category is stiff, so these two companies obviously did
something right to post that much improvement.
Best Database Tool
For the second consecutive year, top honors for best database tool go to
InfoPower from Woll2Woll Software. InfoPower decisively collected 49 percent
of the votes in this competitive category. An impressive second place goes to
ballot newcomer, ExpressDBTree Suite from Developer Express, which took 18
percent of your votes.
Best Globalization Tool
It's certainly a small world - and getting smaller all the time. To stay
competitive in today's international market requires globalization software.
Recognizing this trend, this year marks the first Award for Best Globalization
Tool. By grabbing 45 percent of the votes, the inaugural award goes to
MULTILIZER VCL Edition by MULTILIZER Ltd. Fittingly, the company is itself
international, headquartered in Espoo ("Wireless Finland"), with partners
in 14 countries. Second place goes to MultLang Suite from Europe-based
Lingscape, with 22 percent of the votes.
Best Help-authoring Package
Needing no assistance, HelpScribble from JGSoft collected 31 percent of the
votes to win this category for the third straight year. Also three-peating,
in second place, was RoboHELP Office from eHelp, with 23 percent of the votes.
The consistent quality exhibited by these two products shows why they are your
perennial favorites.
Best Imaging tool
Not liking the view from behind, ImageLib Corporate Suite from SkyLine Tools
Imaging pulled up from a respectable second-place finish in last year's
balloting to capture this year's top prize with 33 percent of the votes.
Improving on last year's third-place finish, LEADTOOLS Imaging Toolkit
from LEAD Technologies got 29 percent of the votes to grab second. This
is a good example of two companies improving their products to better
serve their clients.
Best Installation Package
A challenge will often bring out the best. That seems to be the case in this
category; moving up from second place in last year's competition, InstallShield
Express from InstallShield Software received 40 percent of your votes to take
the top prize. Wise for Windows Installer from Wise Solutions came in a close
second with 35 percent of the votes.
Best Library
There are no secrets when it comes to your choice for best library: SysTools
from TurboPower has won for the second consecutive year. SysTools ran away
with 53 percent of the votes, followed by ExpressBars Suite from Developer
Express, which garnered 31 percent.
Best Modeling/CASE Tool
This is the second year for this category on our ballot, and it marks the first
appearance for both the winner and runner-up. In a close contest, ModelMaker
from ModelMaker used its 27 percent of the votes to edge the 22 percent
attained by Rational Rose from Rational Software. In a wide open field these
newcomers made a strong showing. Only the next year will determine if they have
what it takes to maintain the excellence they have achieved this year.
Best Reporting Tool
Overwhelming the competition (again!) with 57 percent of the votes, ReportBuilder
from Digital Metaphors is your choice as best reporting tool. But the results
were too close to call for - an albeit distant - second place. ReportPrinter
Pro from Nevrona Designs repeats its second place finish of last year, joined
by FastReport by Russia's Alexander Tzyganenko, each with 12 percent of the vote.
Best Testing/Debugging Tool
It's always best if you find your mistakes before your users do. This is the
second year on the ballot for this category, and nothing much has changed.
Sleuth QA Suite from TurboPower and CodeSite from Raize Software finished
one-two, with 45 and 23 percent of the votes, respectively. Shall we go for
three in a row?
Best Training
In one of the closest finishes on this year's ballot, InfoCan Management's 22
percent of the popular vote narrowly edged Database Programmers Retreat's 20
percent. This is a repeat performance for InfoCan being voted as your favorite
training company. In fact, they've won this category an unprecedented four
times. Database Programmers Retreat should be proud as well; they improved on
their third-place finish of a year ago.
Best Utility
If only the Californian power companies were as reliable as all the Delphi
utilities. This category was well represented, and many of the entrants were
in the showing. But in the end it was OnGuard by TurboPower Software that won,
with 31 percent of the votes. ASPack by ASPack Software came in second,
with 24 percent. Both newcomers are to be commended.
Best VCL Component
Riding the wave of last year's closest race, ExpressQuantumGrid from Developer
Express improved on last year's second-place finish by taking 35 percent of
the votes. In second with 16 percent was last year's winner, Abbrevia from
TurboPower Software. These see-saw results have the makings of a great rivalry.
Best VCL Component Set
In another category with many qualified and deserving entrants, RX Library from
RxLib.com emerged as the leader of the pack, receiving 19 percent of the vote.
Last year's winner, Orpheus from TurboPower Software, got 15 percent of the
votes to take a close second. This is an impressive debut for RX Library.
Best Web Development Tool
Reflecting the ever-increasing interest in Web programming, and the burgeoning
availability of specific Web development products, we're proud to debut this
category on this year's ballot. The inaugural winner is Internet Professional
from TurboPower Software, which received 40 percent of the votes. ASP Express
from Marotz Delphi Group made a respectable second place showing with 24 percent.
Best Open Source and Freeware Products
As often happens, we had an unexpected result in this year's balloting that
warrants special attention. Last year, one company, TurboPower Software,
dominated the results so strongly that we decided to recognize them in a
special Company of the Year category. The surprising story this year is the
healthy showing by free software. One open source tool was preeminent,
GExperts, an add-in to the Delphi IDE from GExperts.org. By far the strongest
freeware showing was made by Internet Component Suite from Francois Piette
of Belgium.
Product of the Year
Capping this year's exciting balloting is the coveted Delphi Informant Magazine
Readers Choice Award for Product of the Year. It's quite an honor, but this
year's winner is accustomed to the accolades. Garnering the top spot for the
third straight year is ReportBuilder from Digital Metaphors, with 10 percent
of the votes. This three-peat performance is a tribute to the consistent
quality of ReportBuilder. It's a wide-open category, however, with many
competitors making a good showing. This year's runner-up, Advantage Database Server
by Extended Systems, ran a close second with 7 percent of the votes.
Company of the Year
Although there is no Company of the Year category on the ballot, the winner
of this honorary award is clear again. Special congratulations go to TurboPower
Software, who placed first in five categories and second in two. This is a
testament to their ability to maintain excellence through diversity.
Conclusion
The third-party offerings for the Delphi community have again exceeded our
expectations. Vendors have again met the challenge and provided new and
improved products for our favorite development environment. And despite
the rolling blackouts we experienced in California during the balloting and
tabulating processes, we managed to get accurate results without any manual
recounts, lawsuits, or trips to the Supreme Court.
We'd like to extend a special "thank you" to all the participants on this year's ballot. Their dedication to the Delphi community and their vision of the future of Delphi development is unparalleled. Without their innovative products and continued dedication to improvement, there would obviously be no Readers Choice Awards. The very existence of such a diverse and powerful third-party tools community is also a testament to the appeal and endurance of Delphi itself.
Finally, we appreciate those of you who took time to visit our Web site and vote for your favorite products. You provide valuable feedback to the participating companies, enabling them to continue improving their products. Your opinions also guide other Delphi developers when choosing the products they need to be as efficient and productive as possible.
