Fans of Orchids Embrace New Orchid Database Software

One month after its introduction, OrchidWiz announces the rapid adoption of OrchidWiz Encyclopedia.

Around the world, orchid aficionados are greeting the new software OrchidWiz Encyclopedia 1.0 with overwhelming enthusiasm. Says Manuel Aybar, an orchid judge in Dallas, Texas: "This product is amazing! It is an outstanding tool for the orchid judge; a must in your judging toolkit! The data is presented extremely well. This software is very well thought and structured." Kathy Barrett in Pleasant Hill, California, agrees: "This thing kicks ass. It really does a mind blowing job of providing data for comparing awards. If you need to research parentage, breeding lines or awards this is the program to get."

Orchid nursery professionals and hybridizers also give high marks to the new software. Ed Diamond of Fairwood Orchids in Renton, Washington says "I really like it. It does not replace my Award Quarterly's but supplements them. It makes looking up things faster. It's really good for a hybridizer." William Hill, with Orchid Island Orchids in Vero Beach, Florida, calls the program "fabulous." And Susan Edwards, a professional orchid grower in Seminole, Florida, says "Wow -- it is a real TREAT! It's my NEW best friend!"

Orchid judges and professionals are not the only enthusiasts to benefit from the software. According to Susan Taylor, Orchids Editor at BellaOnline, the software is appropriate for intermediate and advanced growers. Writes Susan: "The amount of information provided is unbelievable! Easy to use and load. Highly recommended! I haven't seen anything like this before."

Bernard Gerrard, an orchid hobbyist in Frederick, Maryland, became the first customer to purchase OrchidWiz Encyclopedia the morning of November 8. He says of the software: "It is terrific and I would heartily recommend it." Reka Hukari is a hobby grower in Margreid, Italy. She says of OrchidWiz: "It is really easy to use and has such great features. The pie charts of the genealogy are great. And so many pictures! Being able to look up the images of the parents is neat."

"OrchidWiz Encyclopedia is on track to attain the fastest adoption rate in the history of orchid software;" says Alex Maximiano, Managing Director at OrchidWiz, "The number of people buying the software surpasses even our most optimistic expectations." Alex credits the rapid adoption rate to the "small world" nature of the orchid community where orchid news can spread quickly via online forums and community boards. With less than one month in operation and virtually no marketing budget, the company has received orders from around the world, including Canada, the United Kingdom, Italy, Luxembourg, Finland, Venezuela and Jamaica.

OrchidWiz, LLC, is a software company based in Miami Shores, Florida. The company develops computer programs for the orchid-growing community. Besides OrchidWiz Encyclopedia, it is currently developing OrchidWiz Journal, an orchid journal with photo-capture and album-creation capabilities.
