Denver, CO (1888PressRelease)
November 28, 2007 - New software that turns complex project plans and events into easily understandable timeline graphics took second place at the Third Annual Colorado Inventor Showcase on Nov. 15 in Denver, Colorado. The software was among more than 40 inventions presented to the 500 people in attendance, including the United States Patent and Trade Office (USPTO) Commissioner, John Doll.
The TimeArrow™ suite of products, which transform data from Microsoft Office Project and Outlook into richly animated storyboards or snapshots, was created by Chronicle Graphics, Inc.
“These products relieve a pain point that all project managers constantly feel,” said Jim Black, Chronicle Graphics founder and CEO. “Countless hours — and dollars — are going down the drain because they must manually turn their data into graphics that stakeholders can immediately understand on PowerPoint slides. The TimeArrow™ suite of products makes these translations quickly and uniformly, whether the communication needs call for a still picture or a dynamic movie. I am thrilled that the judges at the Colorado Inventor Showcase saw this value.”
The contest was sponsored by the DaVinci Institute, a non-profit futurist think tank based in Louisville, Colorado and was hosted by the Cable Center at the University of Denver.
