True to its legacy, Business Objects’ Crystal Reports XI offers solution providers what no other report writer can: a robust report engine that arrives with a plethora of speedy development features, provides integration with OLAP vendors and supports XML technologies. Crystal Reports is embedded in dozens of leading enterprise applications, including packaged applications, and has more than 500 OEM licenses under its belt.
Version XI’s new Start Page provides developers with access to report wizards, online help, support and training. The Start Page also boasts a new Project Workbench, which allows developers to simultaneously navigate through multiple projects. Business Objects offers many training and certification programs for every level of expertise. The company offers an average margin of 27.5 percent and extensive sales support, including tools and material to help partners create presentations and follow sales guidelines. A dedicated hot line is available to partners as well. —Mario Morejon |
