The proliferation proliferation /pro·lif·er·a·tion/ (pro-lif?er-a´shun) the reproduction or multiplication of similar forms, especially of cells.prolif´erativeprolif´erous pro·lif·er·a·tion n. of data in the last several years has made graphical data presentations extremely useful and has spawned an entirely new market. Computer Concepts' patented d.b.Express(TM) technology also benefits from the current trend whereby end users will enjoy a graphical overview of their data, and, due to the interactivity of the user interface, those users will be able to "drill down" into the underlying data to perform tasks requiring a more detailed analysis of the data. Ken Eaken, president of Dallas based MapLinx Corp., said, "The market is finally catching on, and it's starting to pay off for us." Normally, such mapping programs sell for $1,000 or more, however, the MapLinx software carries a suggested retail price of $149, but is sold at software outlets such as CompUSA and Circuit City for just under $100. "It's taken us three years to convince people that they can get what they want for a fraction of the high end price," said Eaken.
