True North

"True North® offers different approaches, including a number of optional modules, to cater for individual XBRL processing and validation requirements. Sample True North applications are provided with all versions, along with full documentation to help you get started.

- True North Enterprise XBRL Processor: optimised for use in high-load, enterprise XBRL filing systems and available in streaming validator mode for greatly reduced memory utilisation, leading to improved efficiency in the handling of large instance documents.
- True North XBRL Processor: provides validation and processing for low volume XBRL filing systems, produces XBRL data as part of an existing application and offers a way of consuming XBRL data within an existing analysis system.
- True North Web Service Processor: provides XBRL and iXBRL validation and processing through a web service interface, enabling easy integration with all platforms.

Optional modules:
- iXBRL Validation and Processing: a powerful, enterprise-strength tool that validates inline XBRL documents and allows extraction of the underlying XBRL for further processing.
- XBRL Transformation: produces a developer-friendly representation of XBRL data for use in business systems.
- Sphinx Validation: Sphinx is a rules creation language that can be used to define compliance rules that allow anomalies to be flagged instantly.
- XII Formula validation: allows enterprise quality processing and validation of Formula linkbases.
- Table Linkbase Processor: this was the first Reference Implementation of the Table Linkbase specification following its approval as a Recommendation by XII in March 2014. The Table Linkbase is a fundamental part of the CRD IV and Solvency II taxonomies, and a reliable implementation is vital for accurate reproduction of the table structure as designed by the regulator.
