Cements Position as a Leading Provider of .NET Tools 

WALTHAM, MA, JUNE 6, 2011 – Telerik, an end-to-end provider of software application lifecycle and content management solutions, announced today that it has been named to the annual SD Times 100 2011 list. Marking its fifth consecutive appearance on the exclusive list, the company was again recognized for its innovative RadControls components suite.

"The software development industry has always been led by innovation, and that’s true even in today's challenging economic climate," said Alan Zeichick, co-founder and editorial director of BZ Media's SD Times. "When choosing the 2011 SD Times 100 winners, we carefully considered each organization's products and services, reputation with enterprise development managers, and the new ideas and thought leadership that it has brought to the industry. Thanks to companies like Telerik, the art of software development continues to advance rapidly."

Launched in 2003, the annual SD Times 100 list celebrates industry leaders and pioneers. Nominations are gathered from both the publication's editors and readers, with a focus on each nominee's demonstrated ability to advance the art and science of the software development discipline. During the lengthy judging process, each contender's product offerings, reputation, and "buzz" factor – the level of attention and conversation surrounding the company and its technologies that denotes industry leadership – are evaluated to determine the final listing. 

Telerik's UI components are the driving force behind the company's repeated return to the SD Times 100 list. Addressing all primary Microsoft development platforms, including Windows Phone, RadControls is the most comprehensive .NET toolbox available today. 

"RadControls exemplifies our continued commitment to delivering the high-performance, richly functional tools developers need in order to excel," commented Svetozar Georgiev, CEO, Telerik. "We are delighted that Telerik has once again been acknowledged as a leader and pioneer in the sector and would like to thank SD Times and its readers for this recognition."
