Actuate Corporation a provider in delivering Rich Internet Applications Without Limits, and an IBM Premier Business Partner, recently announced that Actuate's commercial BIRT product line can now extend IBM Rational ClearQuest reports to improve collaboration, creating better visibility and control between software development teams and superior support for critical business operations.

Actuate congratulates IBM on the new levels of flexibility and insight that it is providing for software development teams with the addition of new reporting and charting capabilities in the upcoming release of Rational ClearQuest 7.1. These capabilities make use of open source Eclipse BIRT (Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools) technology, a top–level Eclipse Foundation project initiated and co–led by Actuate.

The BIRT project has delivered one of the most widely adopted business intelligence and reporting technologies with over five million downloads. IBM is a contributing member to the Eclipse BIRT project. BIRT–based reporting provides an open, extensible reporting infrastructure for software vendors, such as IBM Rational software.

"With global project teams working in tandem to lower costs and improve software quality, speed and agility are required to support mission critical business processes," said Scott Hebner, Vice President, Marketing, IBM Rational Software. "We work with companies like Actuate to enhance the value of open source tools so our customers have the support and products needed to deliver world–class software applications."
