Punch! Software Hits The Three-Million Mark

Milestone of three millionth unit of Punch! Software signifies not only continued success of the home design products, but a new code platform allows for easier use and more robust features in all upcoming software releases.

Kansas City, MO (PRWEB) May 6, 2009 -- Punch! Software is proud to announce the shipment of its three-millionth copy of software. The first product was released in 1998 and took the industry by storm with its unparalleled capabilities at a consumer price point. Since then, Punch! has gone on to be the number-one home design software in retail stores nine years running.

"We continue to focus on our mission of being the leading global provider and destination for design solutions," says Paul Bay, Punch! CEO. "And, I am very proud of our team in reaching the milestone of shipping our three-millionth unit and for continuing to turn out world-class products."

Punch! leads the way in home design software thanks to innovations, such as the recent Home and Landscape Design Suite™, launched using Punch! NexGen™ technology. NexGen's innovation allows Punch! users to save time and, more importantly, money on their home-design projects. Five new titles have been released using the NexGen technology and all new home design products will be released utilizing this platform. NexGen technology offers updated features, such as QuickStart, which allows users to start building their home in 59 seconds. Additional functionality, such as Going Green, allows users to use the most energy-efficient features in their design.

In addition to home design software, Punch! has a full suite of professional CAD software, as well as CAD packages in major retail stores. "The addition of our CAD segment has had a positive impact on all our product lines. Over the past two years we have made bigger strides in the features and usability of all products -- home design as well as CAD," says Bay.
