Actuate Corporation has announced that many customers including Henry Jackson Foundations for the Advancement of Military Medicine and York University use the Actuate Information Application Platform to build Performance Management applications to realize the full potential of existing transactional ERP systems such as PeopleSoft. 

This corroborates a study conducted by Ventana Research titled ‘Operational Performance Management” recommending that organizations look beyond the possible consolidation of transactional application vendors such as Oracle and PeopleSoft and gain a competitive advantage by implementing Performance Management initiatives. It was reported that that organizations are shifting towards implementing business intelligence technologies from leading companies such as Actuate to maximize existing ERP investments.

Ventana Research has recommended that organizations should take this opportunity to begin building and deploying Performance Management and insulating themselves from the activities of Oracle, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards and any additional consolidation in the transactional applications market. 

Actaute Corporation with its goal of enabling Global 9000 companies to transform transactional data into valuable information is applying Business Intelligence capabilities to ERP systems through scalable Information Applications that allow a broad set of audiences to respond quickly to a dynamic business environment.”

By leveraging Actuate’s Business Intelligence technology solution, companies will be able to deliver critical business reports, such as operating statements for financial and staff resources in a timely, secure manner via the web.

And with Actuate's integration with existing PeopleSoft investment, companies will be able to provide immediate access and visibility into data such as project summaries, expenses, open purchase orders and requisitions in a timely manner as reports via the Web.
