Odessa, Ukraine, July 31, 2007 - CS Odessa announces the immediate availability of German and French language localizations of its business productivity software product ConceptDraw MINDMAP 5 for Windows. Mind mapping and brainstorming techniques are widely recognized as being helpful to people who want to boost their efficiency and business effectiveness. MINDMAP 5 is a sophisticated tool that helps people organize and manage their work processes; from daily tasks to meeting agendas and note taking, from team collaboration to task definition.

ConceptDraw MINDMAP 5 provides a simple and intuitive toolset that can be used for project planning, personal organizing and team management tasks using a visual mind mapping metaphor. MINDMAP 5 easily integrates into one’s daily office workflow because of its tight integration with the Microsoft Office product line and many popular project management tools.

Benoit Delvaux, ConceptDraw Authorized Reseller explains, “The CS Odessa team is really open-minded and proactive. Reactivity and also creativity are always “au rendez-vous”. I am proud to be ConceptDraw Authorised Reseller on the French-speaking market and to be involved in the localization process. I hope we will adapt as soon as possible other ConceptDraw products for the French-speaking market.”

“Native French speakers prefer to use software products in French and there are few mind mapping products that provide support for the French language. Our experience has also shown us that German is a native language for many businesses and enterprises. Because of this we also see a large demand for a localized German product. Now with the porting of ConceptDraw MINDMAP 5 to native German and French we feel we have made it more accessible to those important business markets. We foresee increased results for our partners, operating on these markets,” states Yuri Varbanets, ConceptDraw MINDMAP Product Manager.

ConceptDraw MINDMAP 5 German and French localized versions will be will be available at the price of $199 USD for professional edition and of $119 USD for personal edition. Volume discounts, educational and nonprofit pricing are also available.
