(1888PressRelease) February 21, 2011 - Hot on the heels of being named one of Asia's Top Ten applications and winning at the Australian iPitch 2010 awards, Creately announces the release of Creately Desktop, a powerful diagramming application that works across all major platforms and syncs automatically with the Creately.com online diagramming service.

"We have been working closely with our customers over the last 2 years and they have repeated asked for a desktop version of Creately that will offer the same features and ease of use without requiring an Internet connection" said Chandika Jayasundara, CEO of Cinergix Pty Ltd.

Creately Desktop's main advantage is its 2 in 1 capability. Users who purchase Creately, will enjoy the advantages of both online and offline functionality. The desktop version offers the "Diagrams Anywhere" feature which allows users to work on diagrams offline while the system automatically syncs them with the online diagramming service at http://creately.com when they are connected to the Internet. This certainly seems the way to go as evidenced by a recent poll on makeuseof.com* where a majority of 46% stated that they prefer using a mixture of both desktop and web-based word processors.

"We have created a fantastic service with Creately.com and want to reach our users wherever they might be. We're selling Creately on numerous marketplaces like Google Apps and the Chrome Store, but felt we were missing out an a large segment of users who want to know that their data is safe on their hard drive and accessible anytime." added Chandika Jayasundara.

Although a desktop based application, Creately Desktop offers the same collaboration features as its online counterpart. Users can invite and share their diagrams with anyone, including users who do not have the application installed. Collaborators can login to http://creately.com to view, edit and comment on diagrams just like they do for the online service.

Creately Desktop is built on Adobe's Air and Flex technologies and will run on all major operating systems. Download a copy here - http://creately.com/desktop
