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 are 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.
