According to Jowell Lydon, vice-president of Competitions, STC, Houston chapter, “We are pleased to present this top-level award to Uplogix for its superior work in technical writing. The competition has very high standards and Uplogix’ documentation clearly demonstrates each principal of technical writing, while employing visuals that provided a good balance.”
The Distinguished Technical Communication Award, the highest of three award levels, merits work to be ‘clearly superior in all areas’ and must apply the principals of technical communication in an outstanding way, particularly in the way it anticipates and fulfills the needs of its audience (STC Handbook for Local Judges, July 2007).

Each year STC chapters and local areas hold preliminary competitions from which only the winners of Distinguished Technical Communication Awards advance to the international competitions.

Uplogix’ award-winning architecture integrates an always-available, secure and intelligent direct connection to the remote devices it manages as if putting your most trusted IT administrator everywhere, all the time. In comparison, traditional network management tools are not equipped to automate routine maintenance and recovery tasks because they depend on the network being available, and thus rely on people to do the work. The Uplogix solution is a new approach that significantly reduces labor costs and allows IT professionals to focus on more critical responsibilities.
