Actuate Corporation has launched its Actuate Financial
Performance Management (FPM) solution to help firms comply with
financial regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley.
Actuate FPM directly integrates data from disparate data streams
such as financial, human resources, revenue and budgeting and
forecasting systems, to present on-demand reports for every
employee with financial accountability.
The product’s features include a report library, organisational
summaries, revenue and expense details, transaction details,
headcount reports, cost centre commitments and process control
reports.
Users can view reports and work within them in HTML, DHTML, PDF,
RTF, Excel and XML formats.
The system can be integrated with systems such as PeopleSoft,
SAP, Hyperion Essbase, DB2, SQL, Sybase and Oracle.
Actuate can be purchased for £85,000 for a 50 user licence or
£315,000 for a 500 user licence. This pricing includes the Actuate
iServer to process the reports.
Last week, Sun Microsytems and PricewaterhouseCoopers launched
an identity management solution to also help companies comply with
Sarbanes-Oxley and other regulations.
This solution is based around Sun’s Java System Identity
Management Suite.
