      Sybase, Inc. (NYSE:SY), the largest enterprise software and services 
      company exclusively focused on managing and mobilizing information, 
      announced today that it has been recognized by Visual Studio Magazine 
      with a Readers Choice Merit Award in the category of Software Design, 
      Frameworks and Modeling Tools. The annual awards honor the best Visual 
      Studio-focused tools in 22 categories, and the winners are selected by 
      readers of Visual Studio Magazine.
    
    
      Winners are recognized in three overarching categories, including 
      Readers Choice, Readers Choice Merit and Editors Choice. The Readers 
      Choice Merit category, in which PowerBuilder was recognized, is reserved 
      for products that received a high number of votes, and also demonstrated 
      clear value to Visual Studio Magazine readers.
    
    
      The editors of the magazine note that the Readers Choice awards are 
      particularly significant because they reflect the preferences of the 
      actual users who have daily experience with a broad range of Visual 
      Studio developer tools. The winning products were chosen because they 
      help professional developers do their jobs more efficiently and 
      cost-effectively.
    
    
      “The Sybase® team is 
      very proud to receive this award for PowerBuilder and more importantly 
      the PowerBuilder® Community,” 
      said Dimitri Volkmann, senior director of product management, Sybase. “We’ve 
      stayed true to our commitment of easing complex application development 
      in PowerBuilder in many ways, with a focus on advancing our DataWindow® 
      technology. Moving forward, we’re especially 
      looking forward to breaking new ground with our support for WPF, 
      integration with the Visual Studio® shell, 
      and the .NET framework.”
