Design, Manage, and Deliver Reports for Extreme Insight

A world standard for enterprise reporting, Crystal Reports is an intuitive reporting solution that helps customers rapidly create flexible, feature-rich, high-fidelity reports and tightly integrate them into web and windows applications.

The Crystal Reports enterprise reporting solution consists of:

• Powerful report design
  Report authors can use the visual report designer (with a complete set of layout and design controls), to design highly formatted, interactive, and professional looking reports. And they can design within the leading .NET and java development tools without having to step out of their chosen development environment.

• Flexible application development
  Developers can leverage cross-platform support for Java, .NET, and COM development technologies. HTML is generated directly by Crystal Reports, allowing developers to focus on application business logic, rather than tedious, time-intensive hand coding. Separation of application development and report design tasks allow developers to focus on application development, while the report authors can focus on report design.

• Report management and delivery
  Reports are easily published to the web, for better business decisions at all levels of the organization. Reports can be exported and repurposed to the electronic formats used by most end users (e.g. PDF and Excel). IT can centralize the management of operational reporting while distributing the report authoring function out to the lines of business.

• New to Crystal Reports XI
  Improved productivity features allowing you and your end users to experience high quality viewing, printing and exporting with less effort. This release also includes a new edition, Crystal Reports Server, designed for departmental enterprise reporting.
