| In 1990, several developers from Aldus Corp. decided to form their own software company. They founded Shareware Corp based in Seattle, WA and began to develop and produce various programs. In 1992 they released Visio 1.0. This new form of business software sported unique features that made it a quick success. |

| The customer response to the program was overwhelming. As with all popular programs, customers found many uses for the software. And as with all popular programs, suggestions and request for additional features were made. Shareware Corp listened and developed even more useful and versatile versions of the program. |

| So great was the success of the Visio program that in 1995, Shareware Corp. changed its name to Visio Corp. Continuing development of the program went from version 1.0 to version 5.0 in the 1990's. To meet the needs of its customers, different versions of the program were created. Each targeted to a particular type of user. |

| In the late 1990's Visio customers had a choice of three different versions of the program to meet their needs. Visio Standard was designed for the majority of businesses. Visio Technical had features designed for engineering and technology businesses. Visio Professional sported features designed for the software industry. |
