Our OEM and SaaS customers consistently tell us that Actuate is the only BI and reporting vendor that is able to seamlessly adopt the look and feel of their application, provide an intuitive and fully interactive end user experience, and offer a comprehensive set of APIs to all BI and reporting functionality. Actuate provides this in a product that features linear scalability and multi-tenancy to support any deployment size or type, whether on-premises, SaaS, hosted or in the cloud.

Unlike many competing technologies, Actuate can blend seamlessly into your application, providing a consistent user experience for your product.

• Actuate’s JavaScript API is a full AJAX library which gives developers the flexibility to incorporate interactive reporting and analytics into any Web application, and completely adopt the look and feel of any application
• Actuate’s pre-built dashboard and mashup technology is completely functional out-of-the-box, or it can be customized to suit the requirements of existing software

Unlike most competing technologies, Actuate was built from the ground up as an extensible platform that can be used to deploy an unlimited variety of information applications.

• Actuate is the only BI platform that offers 100% API access to all functions—whether it’s for data access, UI development, security or server integration. This allows organizations to achieve any level of integration with existing applications.
• Actuate can support any data type, from databases and data warehouses to flat files, XML, and more. In addition, the Actuate Open Data Access (ODA) framework supports non-standard or proprietary data formats. There is no requirement to develop a custom data warehouse to use Actuate; this creates huge cost and time-to-market advantages.

Unique advantages of BIRT for OEM and ISV partners

BIRT is the #1 open source-based BI and reporting technology available today. What does that mean to commercial software providers?

Unlike technologies that are assembled from disparate technology stacks, Actuate offers ONE design environment that enables ALL features, whether the output is interactive reports and dashboards, ad-hoc queries, or high-powered analytics.

• BIRT report templates and libraries provide developers with reusable components. Organizations can lower the cost of initial report development and ongoing maintenance by creating standard report templates, and storing common components such as data sources, queries, corporate logos, and styles in a BIRT report library
• BIRT Designer Pro is 100% standards based and offers full support for CSS and other current web technologies.

Unlike competing technologies that are proprietary and geared toward the power user or open source but based on antiquated technology, Actuate offers a simple design metaphor and environment that is modern, standards based, and has huge adoption among developers.

• The runaway success of BIRT among developers means that there is a worldwide talent pool available—along with Actuate’s professional services—to jump-start a project and accelerate time to market
• Chances are customers may already be familiar with—or are using—BIRT
