Crystal Reports Server XI leads to enhanced decision quality at all levels of the business.

The new Crystal Reports Server XI provides small- and medium-sized businesses with a complete reporting solution for creating, managing, and delivering traditional reports to desktop environments and publishing reports over the web. It addresses all steps in the reporting process from data access to report design, management and delivery, and report integration with portals and applications.  Server based reports can also be exported and repurposed to the electronic formats used by most end users (PDF, Excel®, etc.).

Product Position
Server XI is the top end of the Crystal Reports product line. In the Business Objects product domain, additional capability including business intelligence, dashboards and alerters, performance analysis and interactive web query and reporting are delivered in the Business Objects Enterprise product line. Customers interested in Business Objects Enterprise should discuss their requirements with a Data Access Worldwide regional office on a case by case basis.
