Altova Authentic 2009 is a FREE XML and database content editor that allows non-technical business users to view and edit data in XML documents and relational databases without being exposed to the underlying technology. They simply fill in electronic forms using the word processor-style WYSIWYG interface, and the source XML documents or databases are automatically accessed and/or updated behind the scenes. Available in Desktop and Browser Editions, Authentic is ideally suited as the user interface element of advanced XML-based document frameworks and database-oriented applications. It is perfect for use in XML authoring, document management, Web publishing, transaction reporting, and knowledge management applications. End users of Authentic are typically business people, such as office managers, order processors, salespeople, marketing professionals, authors, copywriters, reporters, or field representatives. The intuitive Authentic interface works like an intelligent word processor, accepting information through straightforward electronic forms, then validating it according to the rules of your schema or content model. This innovative approach to XML and database content editing unlocks corporate knowledge and increases overall efficiency. Authentic e-Forms are created and modified using Altova StyleVision, and Authentic comes with numerous pre-built forms for industry standard XML vocabularies included. An Authentic form can be distributed to an unlimited number of end-user workstations at no expense. Authentic is not only the most effective solution for providing access to your business systems; it is also the most cost effective ? because it?s free! All editions of Authentic 2009 are offered under FREE software licenses, which means you can deploy Authentic across entire workgroups without incurring the expense of purchasing software for each workstation.
