Altova Introduces Version 2007 of World's Leading XML Tools with Powerful New Capabilities and Special Limited-Time Offers


    Altova(R) (http://www.altova.com), creator of XMLSpy(R) and other
    leading XML, data management, UML, and Web services tools, today
    announced the availability of Version 2007 of its award-winning line
    of XML development tools. Version 2007 delivers an impressive array of
    new features and enhancements, including a revolutionary new WSDL
    editor in XMLSpy, the ability to use Web services as sources, targets,
    or functions in MapForce(R) data integration projects, output sorting
    in StyleVision(R), and a major speed increase in the AltovaXML(TM)
    processor built into the products.

    The specialized applications that make up Altova's XML tools
    product line also comprise the new Altova XML Suite 2007. In addition
    to new Enterprise Editions of XMLSpy 2007, MapForce 2007, and
    StyleVision 2007, the Altova Enterprise XML Suite 2007 includes
    SchemaAgent(TM) 2007, SemanticWorks(TM) 2007, and now DiffDog(R) 2007
    - the developer's dedicated, XML-aware differencing utility. The
    Altova Professional XML Suite bundles new Professional Editions of
    XMLSpy, MapForce, and StyleVision. Both the Enterprise and
    Professional Editions of the Altova XML Suite offer a 50% savings off
    the price of purchasing the included products individually*. Now more
    affordable than ever, the pricing of the Altova XML Suites has been
    slashed for Version 2007, offering substantial decreases compared to
    pricing for Version 2006.

    "When it comes to product development, Altova's focus on enhancing
    developer productivity and maximizing results is unwavering, and v2007
    of our XML Suite exemplifies this," said Tim Hale, Director of
    Marketing for Altova. "This release not only boosts the performance of
    our products, but it will also increase the effectiveness of
    developers and IT pros that use them for their XML, Web services, and
    data integration projects. What's more, we're announcing special
    limited-time offers on XMLSpy and the Altova XML Suite, which means
    there's no better time to upgrade or buy than right now."
