BEAVERTON, Ore., May 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Vernier Software & Technology won two Stevie^® Awards in the 2016 American Business Awards^SM. Vernier Graphical Analysis™ for Chrome™ was named a Gold Stevie Award winner in the New Product or Service of the Year – Education – Science Instructional Solution category, and Vernier's Three Levels of Customer Service Commitment won a Bronze Stevie Award in the Customer Service Department of the Year category.

"It is a great honor to be recognized by this leading awards program for both our exemplary product and our commitment to customer service," said John Wheeler, CEO of Vernier Software & Technology. "We work day in and day out to provide science and STEM educators with the robust resources and support they need to foster scientific discovery in the classroom." 

Developed specifically for the Chrome operating system, the Vernier Graphical Analysis for Chrome app, which is available for free, enables students to use an extensive variety of Vernier sensors with Chromebooks™ to collect and share scientific data and to engage in hands-on learning as they perform investigations of science concepts. The app allows students to use the data to calculate statistics and perform curve fits. Students can also send experiment results to teachers, save work to Google Drive™ or export data to Plotly™ for further study.

Vernier's award-winning customer service is focused on three areas: timely communication, ongoing and robust professional development for customers, and quality product development. As part of this holistic approach, Vernier offers educators detailed tutorials, tech tip videos, sample experiments, an extensive Technical Information Library, webinars, in-person workshops, an impressive warranty and repair program and much more.

"We are passionate about providing our educators with the best customer experience possible, and we strive to equip them with the skills and techniques needed to immediately deliver quality science instruction to their students," said Wheeler. "Educators appreciate the fact that when they call Vernier, they talk to a former science teacher or curriculum developer. We understand teachers, because we've been there. Founded by a former physics teacher, our business practices are centered around educators' needs."
