Software 2000 Achieves "Royal Double".
Wins Queens Award For Export Achievement Two Years Running
High flying UK software company achieves over 90% growth in exports
over three year period and quadruples export earnings over three
year period.
OXFORD — April 21, 1999 — Oxford based software house
Software 2000 has been awarded a 1999 Queens Award for Export Achievement
in recognition of achieving over 90% growth in exports over a three
year period. This is the second year running that the company has
won a Queens Award.
The company started its current business in 1989 and has grown
organically into a multi-million pound company with offices in Oxford
and Monterey, California. Now the world's largest third party developer
of inkjet and laser printer drivers for the Microsoft Windows environment,
manufacturers such as Alps, Canon, EPSON, Fujitsu, Fuji XEROX, Hewlett
Packard, Lexmark, OCÉ, Olivetti, Ricoh, Samsung, Sharp, Tally,
Toshiba and XEROX use the company's print driver technologies on
a world-wide basis. In 1994 the company won a Prince of Wales Award
for Technological Achievement, was named "Oxfordshire Business
of the Year" in 1997 and received a Queen's Award for Export
in 1998. The 1998 Export award recognised 80% year-on-year annual
export growth.
Technical Director Tony Harris commented, "We are thrilled
to receive this award for a second year running. The award recognises
the commitment of our employees and our technology leadership. Although
many users of colour inkjet printers from manufacturers such as EPSON,
Lexmark and Olivetti are probably unaware of who we are, we recently
calculated that one of our printer drivers ships every three seconds
of the day, 365 days a year, and the number is increasing all the
time. To-date, our estimated installed base accounts for in excess
of 35 million units of installed printer driver software world-wide".
