SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. -- Actuate Corporation (NASDAQ:ACTU), the world leader in Enterprise Reporting and Performance Management Applications, today announced that Quixtar (Quixtar-inc.com), a business opportunity company offering entrepreneurs the ability to have a web-based business of their own, is utilizing the Actuate Enterprise Reporting Application Platform to provide more than 3.1 million timely, easy-to-use web reports annually to Quixtar Independent Business Owners (IBOs). IBOs now have access to an Enterprise-class reporting platform that allows them to align with business goals and appropriately react to market changes, with the efficiency once only available to large corporations.

Quixtar IBOs market products and manage their businesses via the Internet through Quixtar.com. Each month, Quixtar provides over 200,000 reports and statements to its IBOs on the state of their businesses. In addition, Quixtar generates more than 700,000 end-of-year summary reports for IBOs. Prior to implementing Actuate, Quixtar generated paper-based reports that were sent to IBOs through traditional mail -- a time intensive and complex process. With Actuate's Enterprise Reporting platform, IBOs can now access their reports and bonus statements online at Quixtar.com within hours rather than weeks -- enabling them to more rapidly and accurately evaluate the state of their businesses.

"With Actuate, we are able to create and distribute more effective reports as well as provide the flexibility for our IBOs to request specific report types," said Heather Andersen, director of Information Technology at Quixtar. "We are dedicated to making our IBOs successful by providing enterprise-class resources that enable each IBO to achieve their personal business goals. We are continuing to enhance Quixtar.com and are constantly evaluating new report types, which could provide more value to IBOs as the needs of their businesses change. Actuate is integral to that strategy."
