RE: XML Global and Altova Launch XML Integration Workbench
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Press Release
----------------------------------------------------------------
XML Global and Altova Reduce Data Integration Costs with
the Launch of the Enterprise-Ready XML Integration Workbench
----------------------------------------------------------------
The XML Integration Workbench bundles three powerful
tools that anticipate data integration needs, permitting
an inexpensive and controlled adoption of XML technologies.
Beverly, Mass. and New York, NY -- May 2nd, 2002 -- Altova Inc., the
provider of XML Spy 4.3 Suite, the world's leading XML development tool
suite for advanced XML application development, and XML Global Technologies,
Inc. (OTC BB: XMLG), an XML middleware company, announced today the launch
of XML Integration Workbench, a powerful and cost effective alternative to
the more expensive solutions offered by the large integration vendors. The
XML Integration Workbench is an ideal data integration solution for small
and mid sized companies currently underserved by the market, as well as for
larger corporations seeking scalable, enterprise-ready data integration
tools. The XML Integration Workbench is now available online for the special
introductory price of $1,495.00 until May 31st, 2002.
The XML Integration Workbench is an inexpensive and standards-based way to
manage tactical point-to-point integrations and data transformation
projects. When integrators are ready to make their solutions available to
others in the enterprise, or even outside the organization, they can then be
deployed to GoXML(tm) Transform Enterprise Edition. This enterprise-ready
functionality allows organizations to centralize transformation rules and
schemas, plug into workflow engines and message queues, make transformations
available as Web Services, and connect to virtually any back office system.
The XML Integration Workbench bundles together three powerful XML-based
tools including GoXML Transform Workbench, a modular solution for
integrating structured data, GoXML DB Workbench, a native XML database, and
the XML Spy Suite from Altova, a strategic XML Global technology partner.
XML Spy allows XML content and stylesheet management, XML editing and
validation, Schema and DTD design, and XSLT based transformation. For
web-based data entry, XML Spy's e-Forms Browser Plug-in is integrated with
GoXML DB.
Incorporating these three robust XML tools results in unparalleled
functionality for a product at this price point. Some of the features
included in the XML Integration Workbench are:
-Patented transformation engine with intuitive and graphical interface;
-EDI dictionaries with multiple EDI formats, such as X12, EDIFACT, HIPAA and
SWIFT;
-XQuery Support;
-XML Content and Stylesheet Editing;
-XML Spy e-Forms Browser Plug-in.
The XML Integration Workbench is delivered on the Windows platform. GoXML
Transform and DB also support Solaris and Linux.
"XML Global recognizes Altova's XML Spy 4.3 Suite as an industry-leading
XML development tool. The addition of GoXML Transform and GoXML DB to that
solution delivers a suite of industrial strength integration tools at a very
reasonable cost." said Peter Shandro, CEO of XML Global Technologies.
"XML-based integration solutions are becoming critical as the evolution of
e-Business progresses, but at the same time there is a void in the market
not being served by the larger integration vendors and their e-Business
platforms. The XML Integration Workbench," continued Shandro, "fills this
void by providing affordable data integration tools to organizations of any
size, and by completing the 'last mile' of integration that those large
platforms typically don't address."
"Combining XML Global's transformation and database tools with XML Spy's
state-of-the-art content and stylesheet management tools makes perfect
sense," said Alexander Falk, President, CEO and Co-Founder of Altova, "The
XML Integration Workbench will make XML data capture, integration, and
presentation projects much simpler, and at this price it represents an
incredible software value."
