SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Actuate Corporation (NASDAQ: BIRT), The BIRT Company™ – delivering more insights to more people than all BI companies combined - today announced the availability of Xenos Repository, a document indexing, storage and multi-channel delivery system for high-volume customer statements, electronic documents and scanned images, designed specifically for use in the financial services, insurance and telecommunications industries.

“The Actuate Xenos Group has been an innovator in the content and document management space for more than 30 years”

Organizations today are managing the complete spectrum of data and content, driving extremely complex business applications that legacy archiving solutions can no longer support. Whether making millions of credit card statements available online, analyzing telecommunications call patterns, or embedding marketing promotions within home insurance policies, Actuate Xenos Group technology provides leading solution development, implementation and management.

Xenos Repository ensures enterprise-class reliability, scalability, performance and integration capabilities, and was specifically designed to address traditional and emerging business and regulatory requirements associated with high volume customer communications. The repository provides high performance content search and retrieval that reduces demand for legacy print and instead promotes delivery across more contemporary channels including web, mobile and tablet devices.

Advanced storage management functionality in Xenos Repository delivers up to a 95% reduction in related costs and optimizes content storage across Hadoop DFS, local disk, corporate SAN/NAS or EMC Centera devices, lowering costs and enabling highly scalable performance in all scenarios, including Big Data implementations. Additionally, it offers extensive integration with third-party archives, back-office systems and customer-facing web applications. Users can extract information from static reports into more usable formats, including Microsoft Excel^®, XML or relational databases. Content contained within documents stored across disparate archives can be merged with relational data sources, providing interactive views of content that have not previously been possible. The result is that content is more actionable, accessible and reliable throughout the organization.

“The Actuate Xenos Group has been an innovator in the content and document management space for more than 30 years,” said Steve Jones, Vice President and General Manager - Xenos Group at Actuate. “Xenos was processing Big Data before Big Data became the dominant industry focus.
