# Altova Named to SD Times 100

## the award for “Tools & Frameworks” goes to Altova!
  
  We are honored to be named to the [_SD Times_ 100](http://www.sdtimes.com/content/article.aspx?ArticleID=34383) for the sixth time! The award, now in its 7th year, recognizes the top innovators and leaders in multiple software development industry areas. Each year the editors of _SD Times_ scour over thousands of nominations in search of companies, non-commercial organizations, open source projects, and other initiatives that exemplify innovation and leadership. When choosing the _SD Times_ 100, the editors consider each company’s offerings and reputation. They listen to the “buzz” — how much attention a company, its products and technologies are creating — as a sign of leadership within the industry. Did the company set the industry agenda? Did a company’s products and services advance the software development art? Were programmers anxiously awaiting its developments? For the judges of the _SD Times_ 100, these are qualities that mark a leader. 
  
  So what makes us a _SD Times_ 100 winner? In Version 2009, our [MissionKit suite of XML, database, and UML tools](https://www.altova.com/missionkit/software-development-tools.html) added key support for working with industry standards like [Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL)](https://www.altova.com/solutions/xbrl-tools.html) and [Health Level 7 (HL7](https://www.altova.com/solutions/hl7-tools.html)) to help companies adopt these standards while reducing costs and development time. 
  
  We also rolled out over 70 new, customer-requested features in Version 2010 as part of our “Most Wanted” release, including support for WSDL 2.0, JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), and SysML, as well as compatibility with Windows 7 and 64-bit operating systems, and much more.
