Crystal Reports 2008 is a powerful, dynamic reporting solution with the power to transform the business user's experience. Reports are often the lifeblood of communication between people and their business, their partners, and their customers. Building on a fifteen-year history of market-leading technology, Crystal Reports 2008 continues the tradition of reporting excellence and innovation for both new and existing customers. Crystal Reports 2008 delivers actionable data for any organisation with a comprehensive set of new features for business users, report designers, and application developers.

Interactive Reporting

New interactive reporting features will allow customers to save time, act faster, and make better decisions. Customers can explore information interactively without having to re-query the database or request a new report. Further, they can conduct on-report what-if scenario modeling as well as access multiple views of information in the same report, a first in the reporting marketplace. The resulting benefits are operational efficiency and fast access to critical data.

Stunning Visualisations

Crystal Reports 2008 enables Adobe Flash files authored in Xcelsius, Adobe Flex, and other tools to be tightly integrated into reports. Report designers can create high impact data visualisation for their users and provide them with better online report viewing. When combined with Adobe Flash files, Crystal Reports 2008 becomes a robust operational reporting solution allowing end users to take action by invoking the next step in an operational process such as ordering inventory, executing a trade, or making a phone call.

Comprehensive Report Deployment

Crystal Reports 2008 makes information pervasive in any organisation. With functions like improved XML exporting, customers can render and deploy reports in nearly any industry-standard format. Customers can also deploy reports online, offline, within their applications of choice, or on demand by saving reports directly to crystalreports.com.

Improved Report Designer

With a combination of advancements in report design, Crystal Reports 2008 delivers a flexible and versatile solution. A new web services data driver makes it simple to access more data, anywhere. Developers will be able to save valuable time eliminating custom code writing when adding calculated fields to tabular reports. And built-in bar code support and enhanced designer features will contribute to the shorter report design and deployment time.


"Crystal Reports 2008 represents a noteworthy step forward in the evolution of enterprise reporting software. Business users will see value in the much-improved end-user experience, including new visualisations, on-report interactive parameters, and what-if scenario modeling. Report designers can improve their productivity by building a single report that serves the needs of multiple audiences and, developers will be able to more easily build applications that tie the reports to business processes and enable users to take action directly from the report."
