This document discusses how XBRL can be used for more than just financial reporting and regulatory filings. It argues that XBRL structured data can enable business decision making when the data is made available to business users on demand. The document introduces a new product called Accountants Integrated Engine (iAXE) that allows companies to integrate data from multiple sources, perform financial consolidation and reporting across different GAAPs, and generate business intelligence reports and dashboards to help managers make better decisions. iAXE aims to address current issues where many managers lack confidence in or use wrong information for decisions by providing a single source of normalized, consistent XBRL structured data.
