Actuate Launches BIRT Performance AnalyticsSAN MATEO, Calif. --(Business Wire)-- Actuate (News - Alert) Corporation (NASDAQ: BIRT), the people behind BIRT® and the leader in open source business intelligence (BI), today launched BIRT Performance Analytics, a solution built on the unified ActuateOne platform to help organizations drive tangible business improvements. Available both on premise as well as on demand, BIRT Performance Analytics enables organizations to implement closed loop performance management by incorporating capabilities that help discover problem areas, analyze root causes and drive improvements. In today's uncertain economic climate, organizations face the mandate for performance improvement more than ever before. Whether the goal is to improve performance at the corporate level or at the operational level, organizations need a comprehensive solution that can address three core functions: 1. Discover: with interactive dashboards and data visualization, BIRT Performance Analytics enables the business analyst to discover trends, patterns, and identify new opportunities for business improvement across disparate enterprise data sources. 2. Analyze: with drag-and-drop analysis and 100% Excel export built into an interactive dashboard, the business user can slice and dice data and perform 'what-if' analysis with the option to use the full power of their favorite analysis tool, Microsoft (News - Alert) Excel. 3. Improve: with performance scorecards, maps, executive briefing books and initiative management. Built for the business user to define metrics, their relationships, targets, benchmarks, import measure values or manually input the values, the business users can focus their efforts on those KPIs that are critical and thus drive tangible performance improvement.
