Crystal Reports

Access and Present Any Data the Way You Want

Accessing and combining data from multiple sources is often complex and requires multiple tools. Transforming this data into useful information just adds to the burden.

Crystal Reports provides a unified standard for simplified data connectivity, flexible report creation, and reduced report maintenance. Not only can IT benefit from reduced overhead, but your end users will benefit from informed decision making.

Easily Access Any Data

Crystal Reports gives you flexible control over data connectivity so you can more easily satisfy ever changing end-user information requirements. With powerful data drivers and flexible ways to access data using Crystal Reports, you can connect to the data you need. The Crystal Reports data access capabilities allow you to:

• Choose from native, ODBC, OLE DB, and JDBC connectivity to databases, files, logs, enterprise applications, or program elements
  
• Select from more than 35 data drivers for direct, code-free access to almost any relational, OLAP, XML, or in-memory data
  
• Write your own SQL commands or use the powerful query generation capabilities for complete control over how the data is queried
  
• Present data from multiple sources and in multiple languages within the same report
  
• Access universes in BusinessObjects™ Enterprise to take advantage of a meta layer that masks the complexity of the data for simplified connectivity
  
• Set up business views as a data abstraction layer to ease the process of connecting to multiple data sources and to reduce the hassles of migrating reports from development to production
