VFA Embeds JReport into Mezzia Capital Spend Management Software

JReport Enables Dashboard Views of Actual Versus Planned Spending

ROCKVILLE, Md. - August 29, 2006 - Jinfonet Software, the leader in embedded reporting solutions for Java applications, today announced that VFA, Inc. has embedded Jinfonet's JReport into its Mezzia™ capital spend management software.

VFA is the leading provider of end-to-end solutions for facilities capital planning and asset management. Its Mezzia product enables organizations to manage the entire capital spending process by streamlining budget creation, requisition processing, purchasing and reconciliation of expenditures.

VFA employed JReport to enhance the presentation of reports with Mezzia and present complex information in easy-to-understand charts and graphs. VFA also uses JReport to provide Mezzia users with a dashboard view of the status of capital spending - including actual versus planned spending - and enable managers to drill down into dashboard items for further details about expense categories.

"One of the key capabilities Mezzia offers organizations is the ability to control their capital spending through a real-time view of expenditures against budget," said Melanie Ziegler, vice president of software development at VFA, Inc. " JReport helps us seamlessly deliver that capability - both portfolio-wide and at the line-item level ."

Both JReport and Mezzia are built entirely on the Java platform, facilitating ease of integration. Due to this compatibility, VFA completed the integration of JReport into the Mezzia product in less than three months.

JReport's application interface (API) was also a critical factor in VFA's selection of the product. "We wanted to embed an offering, not just integrate with one," continued Ziegler. "With JReport, our clients don't have any hardware requirements. In fact, they have no idea they're using a separate product for reporting. It feels like a native part of our offering."

"VFA's Mezzia product provides a valuable tool that helps organizations gain insight into financial performance," said Fred Richards, vice president of product management for Jinfonet. "It's rewarding to be allied with a company that provides such an important service. We're excited to help make a great product even better."
