In a diverse and global business enterprise, corporations need a way to create, publish, and distribute content on a regular basis to a variety of users. These users require access to information distributed in various network environments, such as the internet, intranets, and extranets.
To meet these requirements, the Actuate business reporting system creates, publishes and distributes reports with executable report files. Actuate Java Components include:
Actuate BIRT Viewer to display generated information simultaneously at any location in a network.
Actuate BIRT Studio, BIRT Interactive Crosstabs, and Interactive Viewer to edit and update files remotely or locally.
BIRT Deployment Kit to organize and publish information that can be regenerated or edited as often as needed
Actuate reports provide an efficient, scalable, highly searchable, and easily updated alternative to static web pages or traditional, paper-based reporting.
Figure 1‑1 shows the default Actuate Java Components landing page, which lists the Actuate Java Components, including the Deployment Kits. The landing page looks different if your company has customized the page.
