Crystal Reports Server

Reports and dashboards on a single server – Securely view, share, schedule, and deliver reports designed with Crystal Reports software and dashboards from Xcelsius software. Reduce costs through a single server for both reports and dashboards. (Please note: Xcelsius support Dashboard Builder is limited to Named User Licenses only.)

Zero-client user interface – Infoview gives end users instant, secure access to corporate reports and dashboards over the Web with a single URL. Deploy the out-of-the-box portal or customise it using a portal integration kit.

Interactive report viewers – Print, export, and drill down on charts and other report objects over the Web. Use on-report parameter panels, sort controls, and support for embedded Flash to become more productive and to reduce the number of reports needed to answer critical business questions.

Dashboard Builder – A Web-based dashboard framework gives you the flexibility to personalise information views to support you in your business role. You can set up dashboards, reports, and models using drag-and-drop functionality without the help of IT staff. (Please note: Xcelsius support Dashboard Builder is limited to named user licenses only.)

Live Office – Integration with Microsoft Office provides support for the major recent versions of Microsoft Office, including Microsoft Office 2000, 2003, XP, and 2007. So you can easily embed accurate, refreshable corporate data within Microsoft PowerPoint, Excel, and Word documents.

Collaboration – Threaded discussions – a fully integrated feature of the InfoView environment – enable users to create and maintain comments on any report accessible in Crystal Reports Server.

Crystal Reports 2008 support – Use Crystal Reports 2008 (sold separately) to make your reports more interactive with dynamic visualisations available to all your users via the Web, in e-mail, or in Microsoft Office documents with Crystal Reports Server 2008.

Data-driven publishing – Publish personalised reports such as invoices, statements, and marketing materials to thousands of recipients. You can base a single Crystal Reports document on multiple data sources, personalise it for each recipient, combine multiple documents into a single file (such as Adobe PDF), and distribute it to a dynamic list of recipients. (Please note: this functionality is only available with concurrent access licenses.)

On-demand and offline consumption – Use crystalreports.com (sold separately) to provide secure information access via the Web for users inside and outside your organisation. And explore your reports interactively – even offline – with Crystal Reports Viewer software, a free download available separately.

Report scheduler – Set up reports to run at specific times or based on specific events. Plus, schedule reports to generate in specific formats such as Excel, PDF, and RTF.

SharePoint and Java Portal access – Make reports available anywhere in your organisation by publishing them on your corporate portal. Java and SharePoint Portal Integration Kits (PIK) are supported.

.NET and Java APIs – Leverage your existing IT investments by easily integrating Crystal Reports Server with your custom-built applications.

Flexible licensing – Accommodate all types of users by combining named user licenses (NUL) and concurrent access licenses (CAL). Grow your business with a flexible licensing model that scales with your needs.
