About Rivet Software

Overview

Rivet Software is a Denver-based company that is pioneering the future of global financial communications. The focus of Rivet Software is to provide finance, accounting, and other business users with control over the collection, analysis and dissemination of business and financial information for which they are becoming increasingly responsible. Under Sarbanes Oxley regulations, CEOs and CFOs of US public companies are now criminally liable for the accuracy of financial information, yet these officers usually have little control or knowledge of how this information is gathered and analyzed

About Rivet

Rivet Software was created by software and accounting industry veterans to produce innovative, easy-to-use financial communications and analysis software designed for accounting, finance and other business users.

The SEC recognized the quality of Rivet's products and has contracted with Rivet the last several years. Rivet supplies the SEC with both products and services to support their Interactive Data initiative for financial reporting. Rivet-developed products are used to render and view XBRL corporate and mutual fund filings on the SEC website.

Rivet solutions have also been chosen by over 250 large public companies in the US and our XBRL tagging tools have been downloaded by thousands of users to help learn about XBRL and taxonomy-based reporting. Rivet Software has provided software and assistance to over half the filers in the SEC Voluntary Filing Program, and supports its products and the XBRL community with training, user assistance and consulting services.

Rivet and the History of XBRL

The founders of Rivet Software were early supporters of XML and the XBRL standard and have been intimately involved with the design, development and promotion of XBRL. Rivet's founders were among the first to realize the value of interactive data and released the first commercial product supporting XBRL in 1999, FRx Financial Reporting software. That product–now owned by Microsoft–still supports XBRL today. Rivet's mission is to create solutions that combine cutting-edge technology with non-proprietary financial standards. This focus, and freedom from the constraints of a legacy product base, has enabled the company to produce software providing unprecedented freedom and control to non-technical business users.
