Better with MissionKit
Altova's individual products are exceptionally powerful, market-proven, and award-winning tools for software developers. They are collectively better with MissionKit because of strong synergy and common core services among the products, addressing the full spectrum of information architecture and application development concerns and roles. Just a few examples of this synergy are detailed below. Unbeatable Savings

Synergy among Altova MissionKit tools means you'll not only save development time, but save on your bottom line, as well. Altova MissionKit is designed to deliver unbeatable savings compared to individual product purchases. For instance, if you're thinking of purchasing XMLSpy and MapForce, you can get the entire MissionKit tool suite for less than the price of those two products.

MissionKit Professional Edition includes five products for less than the price of two, while MissionKit Enterprise Edition includes the entire Altova XML, SQL, and UML product line - that's seven tools - all for less than the price of two.* Seamless XML Information Workflow

Tight integration among MissionKit tools ensures a seamless information workflow, regardless of the task at hand. For example, you might utilize MapForce to gather diverse SQL database, EDI, or Excel data and marshal it into XML for further development in XMLSpy. Then, that XML may be accessed in StyleVision for analysis and reporting in HTML, PDF, Open XML, or other document formats. Organize all these assets in an XMLSpy Project for one-click access and instant transformation. Or, add your StyleVision designs to a MapForce project for instant publishing of data mapping output.

MissionKit's powerful features for XML information workflow can also be used to address a wide range of XBRL solution scenarios, with comprehensive XBRL support in XMLSpy, MapForce, and StyleVision.

Consistent Database Access Interface
MissionKit tools connect to all major relational databases using a consistent, familiar SQL query interface. Connecting is easy, and you never have to leave MissionKit to examine your database structure or data as you work with the various MissionKit SQL tools. In addition, since MissionKit supports all major relational databases alongside today's most prevalent standards-based data formats, it's your go-to toolkit for working in a multi-platform, real-world database environment.

XSLT Options
XSLT is the transformation language essential to data centric software development and data integration. MissionKit provides numerous integrated options for XSLT creation and testing. When you want to hand-code XSLT stylesheets, the text-based XSLT editor, debugger, and profiler in XMLSpy are second-to-none. When you need to develop structural transformations using XSLT, MapForce will auto-generate standards-based XSLT from your graphically defined mapping. Or, if you need to present data in HTML, PDF, or other output formats, select StyleVision for visual XSLT design. As described above, all these transformation assets can be available in multiple MissionKit tools for a smooth workflow.

Software Modeling
Conceptual models are the heart and soul of any successful enterprise software architecture, and Altova MissionKit gives you the right tools for the job. From documenting use-cases and requirements in UModel, to creating XML data models with the graphical XML Schema editor in XMLSpy, the broad selection of modeling capabilities in MissionKit provide a host of integration points. Model all the relationships in an unfamiliar database by generating a diagram in the DatabaseSpy design view. Communicate the information architecture of your project in the UML software model with UModel XML Schema diagrams and database diagrams. Use the code-generation capabilities of MapForce to automate data integration and transformation tasks, and then load the generated code into UModel and integrate it with your existing application architecture.
