April 2013 1. General Availability of FlowForce Server We are pleased to announce the general availability of FlowForce Server, the high-performance server for multi-step, enterprise-level data aggregation, processing, and reporting tasks. FlowForce helps manage the automation of data integration and report generation projects defined using Altova MissionKit developer tools such as MapForce and StyleVision. FlowForce Server is optimized to take advantage of today's high-performance parallel computing environments and is available for Windows and Linux platforms, with MacOS support expected in May 2013. With its straightforward Web browser interface, FlowForce Server empowers data architects, analysts, and other IT professionals to implement, monitor, and manage a secure and robust data transformation server without writing or compiling any source code. FlowForce server jobs can be triggered by date and time, by arrival of files in hot folders, or by http command.  FlowForce Server offers comprehensive management and monitoring for jobs that:
FlowForce provides strong security measures through user, role, job, credential, and permission definitions that enable multiple simultaneous jobs while preventing unauthorized access to restricted data repositories or system resources. This powerful new server tool is available immediately. Download a trial of FlowForce now! 2. Now Available: MapForce Server and StyleVision ServerCoinciding with the launch of FlowForce Server is availability of two additional products, rounding out the Altova family of server software tools: MapForce Server and StyleVision Server.  MapForce Server performs data transformations based on preprocessed and optimized data mappings stored in MapForce Server Execution files prepared by MapForce and uploaded over a network. Preprocessing enables faster performance and reduced memory footprint for most data mappings. When operating under the management of FlowForce Server, MapForce Server is a powerful transformation engine suitable for the high-volume, quick turn-around demands of today's leading edge data centers. The standalone version is suitable in a department level or other small environment that does not require the extensive multi-tasking, job scheduling, and security features of FlowForce Server.  StyleVision Server automates multi-channel business report generation for XML and XBRL, based on templates designed in StyleVision. StyleVision Server is ideally used in combination with FlowForce Server to automate rendering tasks in response to even triggers or time triggers. It may also be used stand-alone to meet smaller-scale automation needs that do not require the extensive job scheduling and security features of FlowForce Server. You'll have the option to download MapForce Server and/or StyleVision Server when you evaluate FlowForce Server. You may also download them separately. 3. Announcing RaptorXML Server We are very excited to announce a brand new XML and XBRL validation and processing server called Altova RaptorXML. We have seen a growing demand for an ultra-fast processor that can handle the huge amounts of XML and XBRL data being generated today due to Big Data trends and increased regulatory compliance requirements. The third-generation engine from Altova, RaptorXML was architected from the ground up to take advantage of the multi-core and multi-CPU computers and servers that are prevalent today. RaptorXML Server provides the following hyper-performance features:
Just as important as performance was standards compliance. RaptorXML conforms with the latest versions of all relevant XML and XBRL standards and has been submitted to rigorous regression and conformance testing. Check out the RaptorXML page for the complete list of supported standards and more information. RaptorXML will be available to evaluate and purchase in May 2013.  4.

At the top of the list is an interactive Gantt chart that gives you an updatable project timeline, hierarchical task organization, dependencies, and more. Now MetaTeam offers the scheduling view that most project managers rely on to track work - while maintaining its ease of use and accessibility to all team members.  New round-trip integration with Microsoft Project allows you to import, export, and update information from the world's most popular desktop scheduling tool. Now you can take advantage of Project's excellent scheduling engine, and advanced features for the Critical Path Method, Monte Carlo analysis, and resource leveling, without giving up MetaTeam's more comprehensive project information management and team organization tools.
