The PCD Awards have been presented since 1997 to promote recognition for designers, their organizations and clients, their software, and their business sponsors, and are featured on www.epsscentral.com. The Awards are judged by a consortium of PCD practitioners affiliated with EPSScentral and the Performance Support Leadership Council, an organization founded by Gloria Gery, who wrote the defining work and coined the term “EPSS” in 1989.

These extraordinary EPSS and PCD solutions and tools foster business performance through human performance by immediately establishing goals, supporting users through best practices, facilitating the proper flow of work, minimizing translation, and providing immediate access to supporting content at the time of need. “This year the PCD Award winners have stretched the performance paradigm by demonstrating extraordinary development tools that compress the information technology lifecycle, apply unique approaches to new vertical markets, and extract unrealized value from existing IT assets,” says Gary Dickelman, President and CEO of EPSScentral. “For the first time since 1997 we are seeing a clear fusion of market needs with second and third generation PCD/EPSS offerings that make measurable differences,” added Dickelman.

The 2003 PCD Awards will be presented on September 23, 2003, at the Los Angeles Convention Center during the Online Learning Conference and Expo. ProCarta, Epiplex, and Auxilium Knowledge Builder will also be showcased as the Latest and Greatest Tools and Techniques for Developing Performance Support.
