"While there is emerging consensus that the global economy is on the mend, companies remain cautious about their IT spending," said Pete Cittadini, President and CEO of Actuate. "We continue to focus on our open source and BIRT strategic initiatives and on growing the adoption of BIRT-related Rich Information Applications, which we believe create differentiation for Actuate in the marketplace. We are pleased to see that this quarter marked a record for BIRT related business, which continues to indicate that our BIRT strategy is working."
