Powerful Analysis

Guided-report analysis. Deliver interactive analytic reports with different cube views on each page and Analysis Buttons that guide you intuitively through various views of the data. For specific business needs, create information-rich analytic applications such as sales analysis, financial review and analysis, key performance indicator metrics, web log analysis and more.

Rich visualization objects. Design reports using a wide variety of visualization objects that enhance your interactivity of reports. Add user-defined calculations in any dimension with highlight exceptions and include a chart and text commentary to complete the picture.

Interactive Analysis over the Web. Zero-client analytic reports are fully interactive over the Web, allowing you to swap dimensions and views, sort and filter data, and add calculations in any dimension you choose -- all within your browser.

Flexible and easy to use

Quickly and easily create interactive analytic reports. Provide a drag-and-drop design environment; page templates and powerful application exports that help you quickly create reports. Turning data into actionable information is quick and easy with some knowledge of the data but little else.

Complete control over OLAP data presentation. Build reports by dragging, dropping and sizing worksheets, charts, text, dimension explorers and/or groups on the screen. With Crystal Analysis Professional, you can customize and allocate as much or as little control over the view of the data as you want.
