Tagetik, a global provider of Performance Management and Financial Governance software solutions, enabling companies to create financial reports according to the extensible Business Reporting Language standard. XBRL, defined by the SEC as the 21st Century Disclosure Initiative, a new system for financial reporting "accessible and easier to use, dynamic and organized around core company information", it is an open standard that guarantees a transparent innovative and effective financial communication. XBRL was conceived in 1998 by an accountant who developed this international open standard looking for an efficient and secure method to transfer to the website of the company financial information included in the electronic accounting system.

"Today more than ever, Tagetik supports the CFOs and CIOs in simplifying the complexity of business processes," comments Manuel Vellutini, Chief Operating Officer of Tagetik. "Companies are facing a new performance challenge to bring immediate benefits by raising the level of accuracy, detail and standardization of financial reporting."

Tagetik's solution for Performance Management and Financial Governance can help companies respond to the needs dictated by international and local regulations.
