Charlotte, NC (July 9, 2015) – This month marks twenty-five years since LEAD Technologies, Inc. was founded by Moe Daher and Rich Little. Their company, headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, started as a means to sell Moe Daher's inventions in image compression, and has since matured into a globally recognized market leader in document, medical and multimedia imaging technologies.
LEAD's flagship software development kit (SDK) product line, LEADTOOLS, covers five key areas of imaging technology: Raster, Document, Medical, Vector and Multimedia. LEADTOOLS is equally at home within both large and small-scale applications, and from data processing centers to Smartphone apps. LEADTOOLS SDKs hold a significant footprint among application developers within the computer, government, defense, financial and health care markets.
LEAD Technologies' success doesn't start and end with LEADTOOLS though. In 2001, LEAD successfully launched a division, Medicor Imaging, which develops, markets and supports several medical imaging solutions powered by LEADTOOLS. Medicor's dental enterprise software, MiPACS, is widely distributed within large private and government enterprises, as well as in hospitals, imaging centers and universities world-wide.
"When Moe and I formed the company back in 1990, we were pretty optimistic about the kind of company we might build. Looking at LEAD today, we can both proudly say that it is everything we hoped it would be and much more!" said Rich Little, President of LEAD Technologies. "Reflecting back on the past 25 years, there are so many memories, some good, and some not-so-good, but the constants have always been there: an unwavering commitment to quality products, superior customer service, and a challenging and nurturing workplace. We would like to take this opportunity to thank our customers and partners around the globe, and our employees, without whom, this celebration would not be taking place. We are looking forward to continuing this incredible journey with all of you."
LEAD has grown from a two-person, cash-starved partnership trying to survive long enough to release version 1.0 of a product, to a company of nearly 100 employees, with a world-wide marketing presence in the developer community currently selling LEADTOOLS Version 19.
In honor of this milestone, LEAD will be running numerous promotions throughout the remainder of the year. Visit the LEADTOOLS Blog for more information on their 25th anniversary promotions.
