Hi,
I imagine that you would have to..

You would also want to as the methods used to retrieve the data will probably be quite different and what is optimal for Crystal may not be for MS...

Were the any good business reasons to move to the Microsoft product?

Hi
Thank for the reply
I gave a report to my company the difference between crystal and ms
I requested they stay with crystal for ms will need 2 yrs to be close to crystal
But some smart Analyst said ms would be better
i do not agree with him
been there done that

Hi,
Also, MS reports REQUIREs that you have SqlServer ( an added cost for many users) even if your main reporting is from other databases ( like Oracle)

There will be some advantages to using SQL Server, in particular cost, but you'll find that CR is much more mature and feature laden.

Long term I'm expecting SQL Server to kick BO's butt in many respects, but Crystal is entrenched in so many products that it won't be anytime soon.

I'd guess that your Analyst doesn't understand Crystal very well, and thinks of reporting as a bunch of queries rather than tools designed to answer questions for a specific audience.

Ask the Analyst what they base their opinion on since Crystal is the number one reporting tool in the industry.
