Crystal Reports 2008 Visual Advantage integrates Crystal Reports 2008 with Xcelsius Engage. The combined product provides reporting software that organisations can use to design, generate, and update presentation-quality relational reports from a range of data sources.
This product is an upgrade and requires either a previous version of Crystal Reports or Crystal Xcelsius.
The Xcelsius design tool allows integration of Crystal Reports data into interactive dashboards and visual models. The models can be embedded in Crystal Reports, Microsoft Office documents, Adobe PDF files, or any environment that supports Adobe Flash.
The software can integrate data from multiple sources and display the resulting interactive visualisation on a single panel. End users can view and interact with reports based on live data to conduct on-report business modeling. Reports can be delivered via the Web, email, Microsoft Office documents, or PDF documents, or they can be embedded in enterprise applications.
