eXcelon re-invents itself again

At the front-end, <%=ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SS"]%> is a generic XML development and deployment environment that is available for download (at $299) from www.stylusstudio.com to work with any back-end database. According to eXcelon this is the most advanced product of its type on the market, most notably because it includes an XML debugger. As witness to this assertion both Oracle and Software AG (eXcelon's leading competitors in the XML database stakes) have licensed <%=ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SS"]%> for re-sale, though their versions are always one release behind that of eXcelon. The company claims to be selling 1,000 copies of <%=ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["SS"]%> per month so it should be getting lots of leads from this activity, even if it's not generating any huge revenues.
