"WordMark has been instrumental in the marketing of GA’s Liberty offerings and also sells and supports e-mail, word processing, database environments and other office automation tools with great success. Visual Developer is a natural choice for us," states Jack Roth, WordMark's Vice President of Sales.

Since 1981, Blacksmith has focused much of its effort on the direct channel as the primary means to promote and support its offerings. "WordMark came to us expressing an interest in representing our software. Knowing a little bit about them, I jumped at the chance to see if they had what we were looking for," cites Brett Stauffer, Vice President of Sales for Blacksmith. "We found out that WordMark would be a great partner. Their support is excellent and they have developed ideal business relationships. Blacksmith was looking for a well-known organization that could independently carry on a sales/support role for Visual Developer. We are delighted and looking forward to what WordMark has to offer our clients."

Jack Roth adds, "We’re pleased with the large customer base using Blacksmith's Visual Developer. The technology has been tried and proven over the years. In its 14^th major release, it offers more than any product of its type than we’ve evaluated."
