"The gulf between the content structure and its end-user presentation can be fairly broad in systems like ours. DeltaXML bridges that gap by providing meaningful change representations to our users in authoring, editing and review contexts. These representations allow our users to make effective editorial decisions about the content they're responsible for managing. You can expect Vignette to focus more closely on services for the editorial user as the Vignette Content Management program continues, and DeltaXML will definitely be a part of that emphasis."
- Ian Stahl, Product Manager, Content Services Group, Vignette

“We expect a more streamlined production process and better transparency, data integrity and quality from using DeltaXML. Our goal is to reduce workload by automating several processes in production and DeltaXML is helping us achieve this.”
Torgeir Tveiten, Avinor.

“DeltaXML has good performance on very large documents – a key for our requirement. Using DeltaXML to meet our business requirement meant we did not need to undergo a complex internal development exercise to do the same.”
- Rob Tan, Broadlane.
Independent Commentary
The French national research agency INRIA first published their report on XML comparison technologies in April 2002. Much has changed since then, as XML change control has moved from an academic discipline to become a distinct market, with an ever-growing list of "XML diff" tools, many of them open source. INRIA have now (2004) comprehensively revised this paper, noting some of the improvements we have made and assessing ours as the only product to excel in all areas - producing a near-minimal delta, in near-linear time, with support for orderless matching and keyed comparisons. We're very glad they note that we're "the established market leaders", we are working hard to make sure that we keep that position through innovative R&D and by listening to our customers. You'll find a copy of their latest report here.
Jon Udell of InfoWorld, writing in March 2004, had this to say:
"To get a sense of what's possible, check out Monsell EDM's online demo of its Delta XML technology. The demo compares two subtly different versions of a complex graphic — the standard SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) "tiger" benchmark — and animates the differences between the two. It's stunningly cool."
The UK market research group Bloor Research have also been looking at DeltaXML, we're glad they think so highly of us.
Also worth noting is an O'Reilly book, "XML Hacks", by Michael Fitzgerald, which looks at some available online XML comparison tools and awards ours the epithet "grokable".
We are determined to keep our focus on providing features that developers really want, that solve real problems with easily accessible tools - so we're very pleased with this assessment. Blistering speed and configurability are only part of the picture, ease of use is critical also.
