WALTHAM, MA, November 2, 2011 – Telerik, an end-to-end provider of software application lifecycle and content management solutions, today announced it has received multiple honors in the 2011 Visual Studio Magazine (VSM) Readers Choice Awards. The company's end-to-end solutions portfolio garnered four category and nine merit awards, giving it the highest number of overall wins in the annual competition.

It also received a host of recognitions for its components, developer productivity and web tools, reporting, and data modeling solutions.

"We rely on Visual Studio Magazine subscribers to drive our annual Readers Choice Awards, because they are among the most demanding and knowledgeable developers on the planet," said VSM Editor-in-Chief Keith Ward. "Tools are critical to developers, and the market's constantly evolving. So when a product earns recognition in our survey, it really means something. These tools have proven themselves out where it really counts-not in a reviewer's lab, but in the field. The winners in this year's VSM Readers Choice Awards have demonstrated they're the best of the best."

Designed to recognize the best-of-breed products making a significant impact on the software development ecosystem, the VSM Readers Choice category and merit awards are conferred in nearly 30 diverse categories.

• Best Collaboration, Project Management, and Agile Solutions – Telerik TeamPulse
