Sunnyvale, California--(Newsfile Corp. - September 15, 2014) - Fujitsu America, Inc., a leading information communications technology (ICT) company, and Apurba Technologies Inc., a leading data analytics and visualization company, announced today that they have signed a strategic partnership agreement to jointly launch and market an integrated solution combining the Fujitsu XWand® Cloud and the Apurba Lyticas Prism Cloud capabilities to deliver a comprehensive XBRL validation and analytics tool for reviewing and filing XBRL reports. This unified approach will enable both Fujitsu and Apurba to provide customers with a more streamlined and efficient reporting and filing process, including more accurate and reliable analytics and lower costs.

This integrated solution was developed in response to the recent "Dear CFO" letters sent by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to companies believed to be non-compliant with XBRL calculation requirements. These letters highlight the need for companies to submit higher quality XBRL filings, which has in turn generated significant demand for a tool that can ensure requirements are met. Fujitsu and Apurba have teamed up to meet that need.

XWand Cloud leverages the FUJITSU Software Interstage® XWand, a market-leading, on-premise XBRL solution that has been adopted by customers in 31 countries. The Apurba Lyticas Prism Cloud, which offers tools for generating analytics and visualization of financial data, will be integrated with XWand Cloud. Together, this will provide a single, unparalleled solution for XBRL data validation, analytics and visualization.

"We are thrilled to see that the Fujitsu XWand Cloud solution is gaining traction in addressing critical business needs in today's highly regulated market," said Marc Janssens, executive vice president, Retail and Platform Products, Fujitsu America, Inc. "In partnership with Apurba, Fujitsu seeks to further empower financial executives with tools that offer maximum accuracy, compliance and considerably reduced time spent on XBRL reporting."

"Apurba is delighted to welcome Fujitsu as our strategic partner," said Fuad Rahman, CEO of Apurba Technologies Inc. "Our powerful analytics tools along with the award-winning performance of XWand will offer issuers an easy way to validate their filings and meet SEC's increasing focus on the quality of XBRL filings."
