The Rules Have ChangedFor decades, government bodies have used large-scale software systems to track nearly every facet of their operation. Over the years, these bodies have amassed a mountain of finance, program, service and human-resource data in their PeopleSoft applications.

All the while, IT organizations have been charged with making government run more efficiently by making PeopleSoft information available exactly when and how it is required. More than any other technology, the internet has made this daunting task possible. But how do government agencies create easy-to-use, online reports that constituents with any level of technical sophistication can request and view?

Actuate is designed from the ground up for Enterprise Reporting via the internet. It integrates PeopleSoft data with other data, transforms it into useful information and delivers it to a wide variety of users inside and outside the firewall as interactive web pages and reports to make government operations more efficient and effective.

Meet Regulatory RequirementsTo make doing business with the government more efficient and cut overall operating expenses, the Government Paperwork Elimination Act of 1998 (GPEA) requires federal agencies to allow stakeholders to submit information or transactions to the agencies electronically by October 2003. Actuate’s web-based Enterprise Reporting is a perfect solution for meeting this new requirement.

Similarly, Section 508 requires that federal agencies make information technology accessible to people with disabilities. Actuate’s flexible architecture and enhanced formatting capabilities allow it and its output to be modified to achieve Section 508 compliance as outlined in 1194.22 specifications.

Strengthen Cost Controls and AccountabilityMore importantly, tight budgets make financial accountability an ever-crucial part of running government bodies. Actuate empowers employees and business partners to track their departments and projects any time and at any level of detail, making it easy to hold people accountable for their activities and responsibilities.

Improve Service QualityHigh-quality services solve constituents’ issues on the very first call or visit. Actuate makes this possible by delivering unified views of all pertinent information from a variety of data sources and applications.

No New Software or DownloadsUsers of Actuate’s Enterprise Reporting solutions need only a web browser or Microsoft Excel to request and view what they need, so application developers don’t have to worry about the delays and costs associated with downloading software and reconfiguring desktops.

High Scalability and AvailabilityActuate iServer is a multi-threaded, enterprise-class Enterprise Reporting server that can be deployed in clusters of any size to fulfill the high volume of batch reports and dynamic requests that government agencies must support—without impacting database performance.

Eliminate Hard Copy ReportsActuate eliminates the tremendous expense and substantial delays of producing and delivering hard copy reports, making information instantly available with no duplication and distribution expenses.

Create Meaningful and Usable InformationWeb reports with Instant Meaning™—Actuate’s reports are simple to use and understand, and can be viewed with any web browser. With a click, users can drill down to see the details behind summary figures—even down to individual transactions—all without any additional training.

Ready-to-analyze Excel spreadsheets—Users can request Excel spreadsheets—by far the most widely used method of viewing and manipulating data-intensive information—complete with detailed formulas and formatting that are ready for review and “what-if” analyses.

Integrate and Distribute Information SecurelyData source integration—The proliferation and increased use of various enterprise software products, call centers, online systems and other technologies has built a jumble of disparate, stovepipe data sources. Actuate creates a single view of a constituent’s accounts and transactions, integrating PeopleSoft data with other enterprise software and legacy data sources.

Privacy and security—Actuate maintains the privacy and security of sensitive personal information, ensuring that constituents can see only information that is pertinent to their own accounts, cases and roles. And it does so without causing an explosion of reports, since one Actuate report with administrator- and user-settable parameters can handle the needs of any number of users.

Extensive directory support—Actuate integrates LDAP directories into the report-generation process, combining user-permissions information with Actuate’s page-level security and page-on-demand technologies. In doing so, Actuate can generate just the precise page that a user needs, rather than thousands of pages, saving enormous resources and time.

It’s Time to ActuateWith Actuate’s web-based Enterprise Reporting power, constituents gain one-stop access to existing government information and services, providing higher quality, more efficient service, while increasing accountability to citizens. Actuate works closely with many federal, state, provincial and local governments, maximizing the return on their PeopleSoft assets.
