Crystal Reports® is an intuitive reporting solution that helps you create flexible, feature-rich, and dependable reports – tightly integrating them into both thick and thin client applications.
Powerful report designer: Report authors benefit from a complete set of layout and design controls to create highly formatted, interactive, and professional looking reports. Use the standalone designer or the design tool integrated within Visual Studio without leaving the development environment.
Flexible application development: Developers can leverage cross-platform support for both Java and .NET. 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 previewed in HTML and published to the web for easy and controlled sharing – allowing for better business decisions at all levels of the organization. Reports can also be exported and repurposed in the most popular formats like PDF, Excel, and RTF. IT can centralize the management of operational reporting while distributing the report authoring function to the lines of business. |
