Dublin, Ireland & Pleasanton, Calif. - September 13, 2005 - InnerWorkings today announced its plans to integrate InnerWorkings Developer, its flagship product for enhancing developer performance capabilities, with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. The integration will allow developers using InnerWorkings’ solutions to access key learning functionality within Visual Studio, enabling them to spend more time solving coding challenges directly in the integrated development environment (IDE).

InnerWorkings’ integration with Visual Studio 2005 will be achieved through the use of optimal add-in functionality. Developers will be able to access custom menu and toolbar options within the IDE, featuring items that enable users to directly access InnerWorkings problem statements, as well as activate the Inferent code-judging engine and Personal Tutor capabilities. All existing InnerWorkings Practice Sets will leverage the tighter integration with Visual Studio, and this add-in functionality will also be available for previous versions of Visual Studio.

“We are encouraged to see advanced learning and performance support functionality embedded in the Visual Studio environment,” said Jay Roxe, Senior Product Manager for Visual Basic at Microsoft Corp. “Microsoft’s community of Visual Basic and Visual C# developers will benefit greatly from InnerWorkings’ learning methodology and the integration with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. This will allow developers to focus on getting their skills rapidly up to speed.”

“Through integration with Visual Studio 2005, one of the most significant product releases for the software development community in recent years, we’re ensuring that developers are armed with the most effective learning environment for improving their performance capability on the .NET platform,” said Francis McKeagney, CEO of InnerWorkings. “In addition, we are demonstrating our continued commitment to supporting Visual Basic and Visual C# developers across Microsoft’s core product lines. I am delighted to extend our performance capability solutions to all enterprise application development teams using Visual Studio 2005.”

InnerWorkings will showcase the alpha version of its Visual Studio 2005 integration in booth 324 at Microsoft PDC 2005, along with full demonstrations of its existing products. The company plans to release the fully integrated version of InnerWorkings DeveloperT following the official launch of Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 in November of this year. InnerWorkings is a member of the Microsoft Visual Studio Industry Partner (VSIP) program and a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner.
