The PCD Awards have been presented since 1997 to promote recognition for designers, their organizations and clients, their software, and their business sponsors, and are featured on http://www.epsscentral.info. The Awards are judged by an independent panel of PCD experts.

These extraordinary PCD solutions and tools foster business improvement and human performance by immediately establishing goals, supporting users through best practices, facilitating the proper flow of work, minimizing translation, and providing immediate access to supporting content at the time of need. "This year the PCD Award recipients have focused on business performance through human performance in unique and innovative ways, with particular attention to return on investment. With PCD we are seeing ever- decreasing cycle times for development, deployment and maintenance of solutions that make a measurable difference to organizational performance," says Gary Dickelman, President and CEO of EPSScentral. "More than ever before, PCD tools are providing end-to-end, industrial-strength solutions, and solutions are focused on performance needs on a fast-cycle, worldwide," added Dickelman.

The 2005 PCD Awards will be presented at the Training/Online Learning Conference and Expo at 12:30 PM, Monday, October 17, 2005 in Long Beach, California.
