Cost-effective, powerful Vector design components, and well-suited for large-scale projects

I have been using the CorelDraw software in a major capacity in the education industry to promote the capabilities and advantages of using the software for small to medium size organizations. In the corporate environments, I have not seen a massive improvement due to the large support from Microsoft for their Adobe Design suite being a far more viable option for large scale organizations and corporations. Corel Draw is a far more convenient option for designers and illustrators due to the lower costs of the software but the support surrounding the software is not as significant as the Microsoft Adobe Design suite.
