Simple, Powerful, and Trusted Ad Hoc Query and Analysis
Business conditions are changing rapidly,
and in order for you to respond fast and
effectively, you need timely access
to
critical business information. The data
you need is spread across different data
sources, and while IT can provide
access
to it through standardized reports, the
process can be time and resource consuming.
Plus, finding business
information
that’s not c
ontained in standard reports
can be difficult, and requests for additional
views of the data often
result in user frustration and report backlog. For users who not only want to view
standard reports but also need to
analyze
the data they see, there’s the d
esktop
edition of SAP®
Crystal
Interactive
Analysis software
. It
puts
you in
control of your data by providing

Audience
Business Users
Business Users
are information workers who consume information captured in reports. Occasionally they
make slight
modifications
or even create simple reports to get a better view of the information
and
make
stronger
decisions.
Business users live in any department of any size organization
,
in any industry vertical. Examples include: sales
managers, business analysts,
finance manage
rs
, brand managers, trade marketing managers, technical support reps,
demand planners,
etc.
They
usually
open, view and explore information in interactive reports to find answers to their
business questions. In order to improve the quality of their decisio
ns they
need to work with the
latest corporate
information.
They
also distribute
reports
via email to other users inside and outside their organization
-
as PDF, .rtf or
Microsoft Office documents.
They require access to reports with
different frequency: d
aily, weekly, quarterly, etc..
IT Professionals
IT professionals
are part of the team that deploys, maintains and further enhances a company’s systems
–
hardware
and software. When choosing a reporting solution they require full flexibility in the form of full support for .NET and
Java applications, all major browsers,
operating systems and data sources
-
in order to minimize future IT costs. They
are interested in solutions that help reduce application integration and report design cost. Helping end users to get
more information from the same report is top priority for
IT, as they try to reduce cost through minimizing the number of
reports they create and maintain.
Developers
Developers
are usually part of IT, VAR or OEM organizations. They embed reporting in business applications
–
internal or for commercial purpose. Applications can be deployed internally or externally, as thick client of web apps.
Developers require reporting solution
s that support Java and .NET, connect to virtually any data source, and work with
all major operating systems and internet browsers, offering them full integration flexibility with business applications.
Also, they value SDK/APIs that help them get more ou
t of the reporting module inside their business application. Work
productivity is a concern for Developers, so they value those solutions that reduce the level of hand coding.

How
SAP Crystal Presentation Design

Microsoft Excel is a great way to
share data and
get started analyzing company data
before sharing the
results
with other colleagues
or managers
.
But users want to benefit from the data
-
sensitive context
,
for example:
•
A s
preadsheet of just rows and columns of data doesn’t help anyone
•
Excel files do not have the built

•
Users cannot manipulate data objects; calculations are only done at the cell
level.
•
Reporting happens in the context of a grid
SAP Crystal
Interactive Analysis
adds additional insight to any data stored in Excel documents
•
Users deal with a common definition of data objects, not just cell values, greatly facilitating analytical
workflows
•
Rich document metadata offers users a complete pictu

decisions based on Interactive Analysis documents
