Altova is a commercial software development company with headquarters in Beverly, MA, United States and Vienna, Austria, that produces integrated XML, JSON, database, UML, and data management software development tools.

Company

[edit]

Altova was founded in 1992 as an XML development software company.[1] Its software is used by more than 4 million users[1] and more than 100,000 companies globally.[2] The first product was XMLSpy, and around the year 2000, Altova began to develop new tools to augment XMLSpy and expand into new areas of software development.[2] The CEO and president of Altova is Alexander Falk,[3] who has explained that the development of Altova software has occurred through the inclusion of features most requested by the users of previous program incarnations.[4] Falk is also the inventor behind Altova's patents.[5]

Altova software attempts to increase the efficiency of program use in order to reduce the amount of time needed for users to learn database software[6] and other tasks such as query execution.[7] Examples of Altova software includes the XML editor XMLSpy,[8] and MapForce, a data mapping tool.[9][10] Altova has also added XBRL capable programs to its XML software line,[11] including development tools.[12] In addition, they have included Web Services Description Language,[13] project management and Unified Modeling Language capabilities to their software.[14] Most recently, the company has introduced a mobile development environment called MobileTogether for developing cross-platform enterprise mobile solutions.[15] At the beginning of 2014, the company claimed to have more than 4.6 million users of its software.[16]
