Last week, the Los Angeles Convention Center was lined with booths representing some of the world's largest software makers, as well as some entrepreneurs who braved the economic downturn, for TechEd 2009.
With the worldwide financial crisis as the backdrop for the show, Altova demonstrated an XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) workflow that it says will help organizations provide investors greater transparency. XBRL is a new standard for financial reporting.
In a demonstration, an XBRL document was generated from financial data using Altova's MapForce data mapping tool; the XBRL taxonomy was extended using XMLSpy; and its StyleVision visual stylesheet designer was used to generate custom financial reports.
BeyondTrust, a developer of enterprise security products, published a report, which concluded that over 90% of the critical security vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows over the past year would have been mitigated if companies removed administrative rights from their end users.
Converter Technology released OfficeConverter 9.4, an update to its Microsoft Office file conversation suite that now supports PowerPoint files. "Organizations will know what documents require remediation," said Shawn Allaway, vice president of sales and operations.
Java and .NET component maker Infragistics showed off its Silverlight 3 line of business controls. Highlights included support for large data sets in its data grid control, as well as over 30 different customer charts. The controls will be ready to ship within 30 days after Microsoft releases Silverlight 3 to manufacturing this year, said lead technical evangelist Tony Lombardo. Future Infragistics controls will take full advantage of Windows 7's multi-touch capabilities, he said.
Interoperability tool developer JNBridge announced JNBridgePro 4.1. JNBridgePro can generate Windows Presentation Foundation proxies from Java code through a process-generation tool that finds classes and methods, said CTO Wayne Citrin. The company is examining Silverlight support as a next step, he added.
Neverfail, a company that creates failover solutions, announced GroupWise support for BlackBerry Enterprise Server. It uses Windows Server to monitor for disaster recovery.
Novell's Mono team was on hand to demonstrate a Visual Studio plug-in for Mono code development. Applications are deployed and debugged in Mono by using a Linux virtual machine. The company also previewed Mono Moonlight 2.0, an open-source variation of Microsoft Silverlight 2.
