iGrafx company history timeline
Going into 1992, Corel was employing about 250 workers and had shipped nearly 300,000 of its CorelDRAW packages to more than 40 countries.
Then, one day in 1992, Cowpland coldly and abruptly eliminated the systems division and sent Hladkowicz packing.
At the same time, it continued to enhance its CorelDRAW line and to chase the other market categories it had targeted in 1994.
Furthermore, Cowpland still owned an equity stake in the company of about 20 percent by 1995, giving him an estimated net worth of $200 million.
Likewise, Corel introduced a video-conferencing system early in 1996 called CorelVideo that was designed to operate efficiently on local area network systems.
From 1996 onward, Cowpland's success with Corel would be measured by his ability to beat Bill Gates at his own game.
In 1998 the company released WordPerfect Suite 8 with Dragon NaturallySpeaking, giving users speech-enabled word processing.
In 1999, Corel went out on a limb with its own Linux distribution at the same time as it was launching Linux versions of its popular WordPerfect Office and CorelDraw software.
Toward this end, Cowpland's hopes were buoyed by the announcement that the Linux operating environment was expected to grow at a compound annual rate of more than 25 percent through 2003, according to International Data Corporation, an industry research organization.
The latest version of CorelDRAW is version X6 or version 16 (when this article was created) which was launched on March 20, 2012.
In 2018, Information Age magazine recognized her as a finalist for Digital Leader of the Year at their annual Women in IT awards.
