REPORT CREATION AND ANALYSIS
ABRA TE is a core technology for automated creation and processing of company reports based on XBRL standards. XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) standards facilitate data exchange of electronic reports.
Software components which implement XBRL standards, are also known as XBRL processors. ABRA TE is (amongst others) applicable as an XBRL processor. For this purpose, it assures 100% compliance to all implemented standards and conformance suites and allows for in-depth validity checking of XBRL documents.
Nevertheless, it is not limited to validation purpose in the scope of data exchange. Additionally, it offers extensive functionality to automate processing steps both for:
- filing creation and submission
- as well as report analysis
The range of functions covers requirements from various processing steps. The following list provides an overview of typical processing requirements that are supported with ABRA TE.
Covered application areas
- Project preparation
- Testing
- XBRL validation
- XBRL report creation
- Filing submission
- XBRL extraction
- Analysis
- Transformation to other formats
- XBRL visualisation
- XBRL taxonomy management
The design of individual processes usually varies depending on requirements of its application areas. With ABRA TE, your custom requirements can be implemented in a highly efficient and flexible way.

EMBEDDED
The global transparency requirements for reporting are steadily increasing. For this development no end is foreseeable. This impacts the technical infrastructure for XBRL processing in many application areas.
In order to fulfil all requirements in a sustainable and future-proof way, ABZ has developed its own NoSQL database, explicitly specialized in XBRL data processing. The database is embedded in our XBRL processor software and its API is abstracted from the underlying highly sophisticated storage and indexing models. Hence its usage is still as simple as primitive XBRL implementations.
Database characteristics
- Maximum Scalability
- Extremely low memory consumption large documents
- Processing in secondary or main memory
- High Performance / high throughput
- Transparent indexing optimized for XBRL data
- Parallel access and navigation through XBRL data model
- Efficient utilisation of multiple CPUs
- Even on off-the-shelf hardware
- No installation / no maintenance costs
- No complex mapping to relational tables
- Integrated search engine
