Moscow, March, 23rd, 2009 – Russian software company Movavi, a leading developer of audio and video software, is pleased to announce that their comprehensive video processing product Movavi Video Suite has been recognized as "Most versatile software product of the year 2008". The award was made as part of the "Best software manufacturers of the year 2008" program founded by Allsoft.ru, the largest Russian online software store. This award is the first in Russia where a product’s popularity is considered alongside its technical capabilities.

"We are delighted that one of our key products has gained this high honor not only for technical superiority, but also as a result of consumer preferences," said Movavi director for sales and marketing Lyudmila Bulavkina. "Our software development is heavily biased towards solving problems users face when working with multimedia content, and this award confirms that our priorities are correct. We would also like to thank our partner Allsoft.ru for providing PC users with independent assessments to help them make the best purchasing decisions."

"We added about 2 000 new programs to our catalog during 2008, and selecting the best products was very difficult," said Ekaterina Vasileva, head of marketing for Allsoft.ru. "Products are divided into different categories in our store, and it’s hard to make comparisons between products in different categories. In our opinion, the winners show the best overall quality and provide the greatest assistance to users in achieving their goals. We believe these products will set the standard for Russia’s software retail market going forward."

Movavi plans to further expand its product range during 2009, focusing on products that recognize the widespread need for media management tools as well as software that supports the ever-increasing use of mobile devices such as iPods and iPhones for multimedia purposes. Additionally, the company plans to develop software for MacOS X.

Movavi was established in Novosibirsk in 2004 and now has offices in both Moscow and Novosibirsk. Since 2004, the company has established a successful business selling software developed internally and focused on the continually growing market for easy-to-use, professional-quality multimedia tools. During its first five years, Movavi has become a global player, successfully competing for business amongst home computer users, businesses, and educational institutions against established developers of video and audio processing software and mobile devices. This success is due to the company’s skilful development of effective channels and controlled expansion.
