Bowne & Co., Inc. (NYSE: BNE), a global leader in shareholder
and marketing communications services, and Fujitsu jointly
announced today that the companies have formed a strategic alliance
to integrate Fujitsu Interstage®XWand®into Bowne's suite of XBRL
solutions. Interstage XWand provides Bowne with a complete XBRL
development platform, paired with validation technology that
leverages the latest XBRL specifications. Fujitsu's
industry-leading software enhances Bowne's offerings and allows the
service provider to continue to combine its deep understanding of
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requirements and
customer needs to create, manage and validate XBRL-compliant
financial information for its clients.
"We chose Fujitsu Interstage XWand after a rigorous evaluation
of several XBRL technology providers," said Rob Blake, Senior
Director of Interactive Services at Bowne & Co., Inc. "Its
complete support of XBRL lets us focus on what we do best -
creating robust, easy-to-use XBRL applications that enable current
and future service offerings to meet the complex XBRL regulatory
reporting requirements and scale as more and more companies across
the world are required to support XBRL."
Fujitsu's Interstage XWand software, combined with Bowne's suite
of XBRL solutions, delivers a comprehensive approach to SEC Year 1
and Year 2 tagging requirements for both block and detailed Notes
tagging. Additionally, the alliance benefits Bowne's investment
management and international clients who need solutions to support
the SEC mutual fund risk/return summary mandate, as well as new
XBRL requirements in the United Kingdom, both of which go into
effect next year.
"We are excited about the opportunity to work with Bowne as it
has long been a leader in the XBRL space," said Hiro Makita, Senior
Director of Product Marketing & Management, Fujitsu America.
"Interstage XWand will enable Bowne to develop and deliver richer
services that harness and extend the power and benefits of XBRL,
increasing transparency, accuracy and overall service levels for
its clients."
Backed by Fujitsu's technology, Bowne will support the influx of
new filers expected for the June quarter reporting period --
approximately 1,000 public companies -- while ensuring the high
levels of accuracy its clients have come to expect.
Fujitsu recently announced Interstage XWand Version 11, which
includes a number of key enhancements such as detailed tagging,
tagging within Microsoft® Word documents, the ability to extend and
customize in-house validation of reports before submitting them,
and out-of-the box analysis support to allow clients to more easily
conduct comparisons of financial data within their companies and
across multiple organizations.
