Experts in iXBRL and Application Integration
 
Great day today at the HMRC's iXBRL exhibition at Stamford Bridge.  Over 20 vendors including us showed off their iXBRL solutions, and some showed off some iXBRL concepts ;-).  Really encouraging that our iXBRL Adapter for Word and Excel is the only product in the market that "Adds In" to Microsoft Office.  Other conversion softwares export the Word or Excel docs into a web based application before tagging which reduces the reusability of the document for other uses. 
Like to give a mention to Ben at MashIQ, the only vendor there not pushing a tagging solution, and by his own admission that probably explained the lack of traffic to his pitch.  We on the other hand think that he's captured a vision of what happens next after the April 2011 deadline and look forward to seeing his products that allow iXBRL to be sliced and diced and reported on, in more detail.
Evereyone seemed to agree that the event was a success (estimated 500-600 people through the door?) and looking forward to the future events coming up in Birmingham and Glasgow later this year.  Well done HMRC, that was certainly the best attended and most ineractive show of it's type I've been to.
