BEST DEVELOPMENT TOOL
Altova XMLSpy

Hands down, Altova’s XML Suite 2005 provides the best XML development tools for system integration. XMLSpy, Altova’s flagship product, arrives with client-side SOAP debugging capabilities and provides support for WSDL and SOAP, allowing developers to model Web services just as they model schemas. Developers can simply wedge XMLSpy between a service and a Web service client to debug SOAP calls. In its WSDL mode, XMLSpy provides developers with full access to operations and bindings for services.

XMLSpy includes a powerful graphical XML viewing feature called Authentic that is useful for prototyping XML documents. In addition, it allows nontechnical users to work with XML without having to learn it. One of XMLSpy’s key capabilities is its graphical modeling of XML schemas. XMLSpy uses diagrams to build schemas via an intuitive table design scheme in which developers simply drag and drop elements into tables.

On the channel side, Altova’s Web partner portal includes product news, marketing, on-site sales training and technical and sales materials. Elite partners receive up to 15 percent margins. —Mario Morejon
