Track: Interop, Standards & Services


Users of financial data, including investors, analysts, financial institutions, and regulators, will learn how to receive, compare, and analyze data much more efficiently via the XBRL standard. A key component of the XBRL Solution is a visual mashup layer; the dynamic visual display and ease-of-use technology adds value by making it simpler for business users to digest complex data and pass it on in the same format. In this track, Hideki will further explain the importance of visualizing financial data and controlling the information channels with dynamic XBRL software. In addition, he will illustrate XBRL's value through case examples. He will show members how to easily manipulate financial data from the Internet and from legacy enterprise systems to bring that information into one browser where it will be viewed and reviewed under multiple lenses, bringing new information to light as different factors are added to the mix.
