JustSystems Launches Beta Program for xfy XBRL Report
Government, Corporate Users Invited to Test Unique Desktop Solution for Viewing, Exploring and Reporting on XBRL Data
NEW YORK and VANCOUVER — May 6, 2009 —
JustSystems, the largest independent software vendor in Japan and a worldwide leader in XML and information management technologies, today announced the launch of its beta program for
xfy XBRL Report. Government and corporate users are invited to test the first and only application that enables users to view, explore and report on multi-dimensional XBRL data; combine it with other content; then publish the results as richly rendered reports to HTML, PDF and other target outputs.
In related news, JustSystems also announced that Diane Mueller, vice president, XBRL development for the company, has been appointed to the Board of Directors (BOD) of
XBRL International, Inc. and that Dave Raggett, JustSystems-sponsored W3C Fellow, has been appointed to the
XBRL International Standards Board (see press release titled, “JustSystems Continues to Drive XBRL Standard Forward”).
“XBRL wasn’t designed for human readability, and that introduces risk at every stage of the information lifecycle — from preparation to the review and analysis used to make operational and investment decisions,” said Diane Mueller. “xfy XBRL Report provides a trusted rendering and visualization solution for composing and publishing reports in formats designed to be read by people, not machines. Now, users can comply with and take advantage of the XBRL standard without incurring new costs, risk and complexity.”
Inside xfy XBRL Report
JustSystems designed xfy XBRL Report for people who want to review and analyze XBRL data and share their results with others. To that end, xfy XBRL Report consumes XBRL, creating content that uses the XBRL data and publishes it in a web-ready HTML or PDF. Other users can view the published reports without any special software — just a standard web browser. The xfy XBRL Report audience includes:
- Filers, who need complete visibility throughout the filing process and a rich environment for rendering and visualizing XBRL data to ensure filings are free of errors, oversights and omissions;
- Preparers, who perform internal reviews of XBRL filings and provide a value-added service for client-facing reviews, validation and sign-off;
- Auditors, who need to bring together XBRL and non-XBRL data in a rich visual environment and then manipulate and abstract information for complete review, analysis and attestation of corporate filings;
- Research Analysts, who need an internal tool for reviewing XBRL filings to provide a platform for adding value-added content and services for investors and other constituents;
- Institutional and individual investors, who want to take advantage of the transparency and comparability XBRL data provides by rendering and visualizing XBRL and non-XBRL data from multiple entities and by providing a basis for making informed investment decisions; and
- Financial journalists, analysts, investors and other data users, who want instant access to the accurate figures they need for real-time reporting to enhance their own and their clients’ decision making processes.
Highlights of xfy XBRL Report include:
- Instant viewing, analysis, and work capabilities with XBRL data — in real time and in human-readable, richly rendered formats;
- Viewing of multi-dimensional XBRL-tagged reports;
- Interactive viewing experience;
- Risk mitigation via instant, interactive access to reviewers of financial data;
- Edgar Online I-Metrix connector provides access to Edgar Online data directly from xfy XBRL Report user interface; and
- Attribution references let users create views of XBRL data that connect back to the source data.
