Powerful Report Design
Report authors can use the
visual report designer (with a complete set of layout and design controls), to
design highly formatted, interactive, and professional looking reports. And they
can design within the leading .NET and java development tools without having to
step out of their chosen development environment.
Productivity Tools
Crystal Reports XI includes tools for
faster report development. Key reporting objects can be stored in the
Repository for sharing, reuse and single point updating across multiple
projects. Redundant coding can be reduced through use of Custom Functions to
extract business logic from formulas.

With flexible .NET, Java, and COM SDKs, Crystal Reports enables tight
report integration into enterprise web applications. Its zero-client viewer
controls and rich object model enable developers to provide rich end user
report interaction and modification at runtime.
Separation of application
development and report design tasks allow developers to focus on application
development, while the report authors can focus on report design.
