PRLog (Press Release)Jun 01, 2011 – ParetoLogic has been featured in the 23rd annual PROFIT 200 ranking of Canada’s Fastest-Growing Companies by PROFIT Magazine. Ranking Canada’s Fastest-Growing Companies by five-year revenue growth, the PROFIT 200 profiles the country’s most successful growth companies. Published in the Summer issue of PROFIT and online at PROFITguide.com, the PROFIT 200 is Canada’s largest annual celebration of entrepreneurial achievement.

Coming in at number 51 on the list, ParetoLogic proves that their user-centric business model is a sound one. “We’ve made some substantial developments over the past five years,” said Elton Pereira, Co-Founder, President, and CEO of ParetoLogic. “We went from just two programs to our current roster of nine, our technology advanced with new research, and we’ve continued to build our users’ trust. I’m pleased to see these achievement recognized by PROFIT 200.”

ParetoLogic’s notable revenue growth can be credited to their commitment to solving specific PC issues, and remaining user-focused. With each year bringing at least one new launch, ParetoLogic diversifies their offerings, while providing home PC users with the security and utility solutions they need. In consequence, ParetoLogic continues to expand and accrue new customers, as well as garner praise from organizations such as PROFIT.

“The PROFIT 200 companies are the innovative, high-growth enterprises Canada needs to compete on the global stage,” says Ian Portsmouth, Editor-in-Chief of PROFIT Magazine. “PROFIT is proud to celebrate their achievements and ambitions, and we encourage all businesspeople to learn more about the many ways they’ve come so far, so fast.”

ParetoLogic’s story in particular never fails to inspire. Founded by four brothers in Victoria in 2004, the startup was instantly successful with their first anti-spyware software launch, XoftSpySE. Though their software lineup has grown and changed, the inspiration remains the same: help customers fix and secure their PCs, no matter what their level of experience. “We ensure that every product is designed with the user in mind,” said Pereira. ”We’ve built our business around making our customers happy – that attitude has shown results from day one.”

PRLog (Press Release)Apr 12, 2011 – Millions of non-English speakers now have access to PC Health Advisor, the all-in-one PC utility. Developed by ParetoLogic, the software combines some of the company’s top technology, to stop system errors, improve performance, and remove malware. All these features are now fully accessible in a total of 10 languages. 

French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, and, of course, the original English round out PC Health Advisor’s supported languages. The additional dialects add dozens of countries and at least two continents to PC Health Advisor’s user base.

“The fact is, too many software developers make assumptions about their users and their preferred language,” said Barry Dodd, VP Business Operations at ParetoLogic. “We know that there are millions of non-English Windows users that need a solution to improve their PC, and we’re happy to provide that solution.”

Each element within the PC Health Advisor application was painstaking translated and reviewed for accuracy. Along with the program itself, product pages, shopping cart pages, and customer support were all created anew in each language.

“Due to the minor shifts in connotations, tone, and mood, translating these items required the utmost in care. We designed PC Health Advisor to make computer maintenance as easy as possible – these languages remove even more barriers between users and improving their PCs,” said Dodd.

The translated PC Health Advisor product information can be viewed by selecting the preferred language via a drop down menu on the PC Health Advisor product page. From the translated pages, users can download the software in the appropriate language.
