Actuate for Stimulus Management Follows Federal Funds by Delivering Performance
Information that Effectively Communicates Progress, Results and Outcomes
SAN MATEO, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Actuate Corporation (NASDAQ:ACTU), the leader in delivering Rich Internet
Applications Without Limits today unveiled Actuate for Stimulus Management, a
solution that enables local, state and federal government entities to track and
measure funds allocated in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA),
more commonly known as the Obama Administration`s "stimulus package".

ARRA gives the U.S. federal government an unprecedented opportunity to
operationally and strategically revitalize the American economy through rapid
funding of immediate gain initiatives that will put people back to work.
Additionally, the ARRA is designed to create a sustainable standard of life for
future generations by focusing on strategic investments in energy, technology,
education, infrastructure and healthcare to ensure America continues to thrive.
Among the goals for the Act is an initiative to provide transparency into how,
where and when money is spent and provide data to evaluate the Act`s progress.
Actuate for Stimulus Management sets out to assist state and local government
entities in achieving these mandates in an easy-to-use, intuitive and
customizable format.

The Actuate for Stimulus Management solution offers a framework of over 250
metrics including cost per job created and percent of funds used - designed to
help government organizations build best practices and deliver increased
visibility into how and where the stimulus money allocated is used. The new
offering based on Actuate`s Performancesoft Suite and Actuate BIRT products
delivers rich, dynamic interactive dashboards, sustainability scorecards and
strategy maps. Through integrated root cause analysis, government can
effectively manage ARRA initiatives by tracking key performance indicators
(KPIs) and drill down into detailed data to investigate and report on the
underlying operational details.

"We`re excited that Actuate has created a comprehensive framework for managing
and monitoring ARRA initiatives and we are thinking through how the framework
applies to our current and future plans," said Kenneth Gwyn, Director of
Strategic Customer Services, City of Dallas. "Actuate for Stimulus Management is
a helpful tool in navigating the ARRA Act and demonstrates that Actuate has its
finger on the pulse of what government at the metropolitan level needs."

"The Performance Institute sees value in Actuate`s framework to allow any
government organization to translate the ARRA Act into actionable and measurable
entities," said Jon Desenberg, Policy Director, The Performance Institute.
"We`re impressed that Actuate for Stimulus Management can be customized for
local or state entities and we look forward to working with Actuate on ARRA
related projects."

"Actuate for Stimulus Management provides government organizations with a means
to kick start the management and communication of their ARRA related
initiatives," said Nobby Akiha, SVP Marketing at Actuate. "Stimulus management
means so much more than allocating funds for programs and is essential for
ensuring that ARRA reaches its goal of jumpstarting the economy."
