Showcase Applications with ActuateOne®

An organization’s software generates and stores data which is critical to its customers’ business. All too often, software applications lack the ability to make data come alive and increase its visibility and usefulness to end users. Homegrown reporting tends to lack flexibility and end-user customization capabilities, and enterprise BI solutions are too heavy, complex and are typically not readily embeddable into third-party products. BIRT technology and ActuateOne®, the only Business Intelligence (BI) suite that provides adopters with a dynamic, flexible and easy-to-use BI implementation featuring just one design, one server, and one user experience, solves these problems.

Within the BIRT development environment, organizations can add to their applications the interactive, dynamic Web 2.0 reports, dashboards and analytics that make the information in applications more accessible and usable, and provide end users with instant gratification, rather than frustration, when the data is not available or changes to reports will take days or weeks. The Actuate platform allows organizations to seamlessly embed this functionality within applications, and deploy them to any user community with unrivaled scalability, performance and reliability.

Drive revenues and speed adoption

Actuate’s OEM and SaaS customers have experienced dramatic increases in adoption of their applications, as well as enthusiastic customer reception to the interactive, highly intuitive interfaces Actuate enables. The result has been a dramatic increase in customer satisfaction, enhanced revenue opportunities, and accolades from industry analysts.

Slash engineering and support costs

BIRT’s powerful, object-oriented development environment cuts engineering expenses by simplifying application enhancement and maintenance with collaborative development methods, component reuse and seamless integration with any application. To control support and customization costs, rich applications built with BIRT make the information in any application instantly accessible, providing users with the ability to quickly and easily customize their own report views. With BIRT Interactive Viewer and BIRT Studio, users get what they want—ad-hoc reports, dashboards, charts and analytics—while support calls and customization requests are minimized.

Speed time to market

Only Actuate and BIRT can be deployed so quickly in any environment. Actuate customers are consistently surprised by how fast and easy it is to integrate and deploy Actuate products, and they’re willing to talk about it; for example Taleo, an Actuate partner, was up and running on Actuate in less than 120 days—compare that to a year or more to build a customized data warehouse, write significant integration code, and develop content with less intuitive tools.

Reduce risk and future-proof applications

With BIRT and ActuateOne®, engineering risks are reduced because of the extensibility and interoperability of the suite’s products. The BIRT project, the genesis of open source BIRT, was founded by Actuate and is part of Eclipse, the most widely used and supported development environment in the world. By selecting BIRT-based technology, organizations become part of the online BIRT community, a family that includes more than 750,000 developers worldwide. Also available is BIRT Exchange, an Actuate-sponsored user site that deals with everything BIRT, from new apps to code, and from forums to information on forming and attending user groups. Any new Rich Information Application built with BIRT will work with existing and emerging industry standards and software as the BIRT and Eclipse code base grows.

With BIRT and ActuateOne®, organizations drive new revenue, control expenses, speed time to market, avoid proprietary platform risks, and are assured that applications will run dependably, both now and in the future.
