SUNNYVALE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/18/09 -- Fujitsu today
announced in North America enhancements to its eXtensible Business Reporting Language
(XBRL) Partner Program at the XBRL US
National Conference, held November 17-18, 2009, in New York.
News Highlights
The SEC and other regulatory bodies across the globe are
mandating that financial reports be filed in XBRL. Companies are
turning to solution and service providers to assist them with
filing in this standard format and to significantly simplify the
ways in which they collect, compare, track, and analyze financial
data within and across their organizations. The enhanced XBRL
Partner Program helps these solution and service providers easily
incorporate XBRL into their offerings to meet their clients'
goals by providing software packages and pricing models that are
tailored to meet their specific needs. It draws on the experience
that Fujitsu has garnered through helping the Tokyo Stock
Exchange Group, Inc., Financial
Supervisory Service in Korea, Financial Services Agency in Japan, Bank of Spain, Merrill Corporation,
Clarity Systems, Trintech, and the major global auditing firms with
adopting XBRL.
The program provides Independent Software Vendors (ISVs),
Printers and Filers, Auditors, and Investment Research Firms with
custom packages that will accelerate delivery of their solutions
and services to market:
- Independent Software Vendors - ISVs that are looking to
embed XBRL technology within their existing solutions will
benefit from a package that includes a software developer kit
with access to comprehensive APIs, developer-level support to
assist with the customization of their existing solutions, and
flexibility in pricing so that it aligns with the ISV's current
pricing models.
- Printers and Filers - Intermediaries such as Printers and
Filers that assist enterprises with filing financial reports in
the XBRL format will benefit from the automated mapping and
tagging package that Fujitsu provides. In addition, Fujitsu
offers Printers and Filers the option to choose from 1) a base
package that covers a specific number of filings per customer as
well as 2) a premium package that allows for an unlimited number
of filings on behalf of a specific customer.
- Auditors - For the audit community that requires a
solution to simplify the review of financial reports submitted by
enterprises, a special package that includes an integrated
viewing tool and a platform for automating audit procedures is
now being offered. Fujitsu offers auditing firms the option to
leverage volume purchase or enterprise license agreements.
- Investment Research Firms - Service providers that
deliver financial analysis to clients now need to compare reports
from companies that were submitted in the XBRL format. Fujitsu
provides these firms with a platform that helps pull together
XBRL data from various sources and an integrated viewer that lets
them review the consolidated information. Usage-based pricing is
available for these partners.
- Fujitsu continues to provide OEM, reseller, and referral
partners with dedicated account managers and consulting teams,
customized training programs, and extensive development,
co-marketing, and sales support.
- Interstage® Xwand®, the Fujitsu XBRL offering, is
modular, easy-to-use, standards-based, has comprehensive APIs,
and is easily re-brandable -- making it the ideal choice for
partners that want to embed or extend the solution.
- Fujitsu was also among the founding members of the XBRL
consortium and continues to drive the development of the
specification and its adoption across the financial reporting
ecosystem.
- As a platinum sponsor, Fujitsu will talk more about the
enhanced XBRL Partner Program at the XBRL US
National Conference held November 17-18, 2009, in New York.
