Madrid, Spain
On the eve of the XBRL International conference in Madrid, UBmatrix, a leading provider of software and services leveraging the global XBRL standard, announced the beta release of UBmatrix(TM) XBRL Taxonomy Designer version 2.5. The new name and versioning happens in conjunction with the renaming of the company's application integration platform and solutions of XBRL software applications, now called UBmatrix(TM) Enterprise Application Suite v2.5.
"UBmatrix has always seen itself as an innovator, so including additional support for business rules and dimensions was high on our priority list," added Sunir Kapoor, President and CEO of UBmatrix. "In addition, we changed several of our product names including the name of Automator to UBmatrix(TM) XBRL Taxonomy Designer. We wanted the broad scope of our platform to be more evident in our naming strategy. Now, our licensed software products have been brought together under one platform called UBmatrix(TM) Enterprise Application Suite. Feedback from customers and the market suggests this was the right thing to do."
UBmatrix(TM) XBRL Taxonomy Designer has been the tool of choice in creating many of the world's most visible XBRL taxonomies. Included among them are IFRS-GP Taxonomy, US Financial Reporting Taxonomy Framework (USFRTF), UK GAAP, taxonomies for the Netherlands, Singapore, and New Zealand, the KOSDAQ taxonomy, Sumitomo Mitsui Bank letter of credit taxonomy, US SEC certification taxonomy, Microsoft 8K report taxonomy, the US FFIEC Call Report taxonomies, and the European Credit Risk Assessment Services (CRAS) taxonomy.
"UBmatrix XBRL Taxonomy Designer is simply the most robust taxonomy design tool on the market," commented Mr. Charles Hoffman, known as the "Father of XBRL" and Director of Industry Solutions in Finance, at UBmatrix. "Not only does Taxonomy Designer support the latest specifications from XBRL International, it now supports dimensions and complex business rules, features that will become part of nearly all taxonomies. I tend to be our development team's most demanding customer and I must say I am pleased with this release. If you're like me, it will become your trusted tool for implementing XBRL."
