Crystal Reports 2008 is reporting software that organizations can use to design, generate, and deliver interactive reports via the Web or embedded in enterprise applications. It allows end users to execute decisions from the report itself, accelerating the organisation’s data-analysis and decision-making tasks.
Crystal Reports is designed for professional, highly formatted reports. Its point-and-click interface allows report authors to connect their data to a library of prebuilt charts and graphics. Reports can be published in formats like PDF, Excel, and RTF, with Flash integration for interactive components.
Reports can also be previewed in HTML and shared online through crystalreports.com, a Web-based report-sharing platform. A free version of crystalreports.com is available for up to three named users and 10 reports or 50 MB of data.
