sql server reporting services:

I found a document at the following location, but have not yet read it....
http://www.ramblainf.com/certia04/docs/RSvsBO_En_v1.pdf

Also be sure to figure in the cost of purchase, maintenance costs, etc....
Many of our customers are moving from Crystal to RS for the money reason.

Rikesh,

In my experience, RS has provided a better reporting solution, especially if you already have a SQL server running. I've been in charge of moving my company's Crystal reports to RS, and coming in new to both, I've found RS to be smoother and easier to handle. It has its quirks, espeically being a younger product. I've found it has been exceptional for our purposes, which include a lot of large, number comparison reports.

Were I in your shoes, I would definately lean toward RS, but granted, that's just my opinion. Good luck with it all,

Hi

We are currently contemplating a Crystal Systems, but I came across MS
Reporting Services.

Any ideas on which is more superior or MIS and CRM data?

Kind Regards

Hi Teros

Thank you for your reply.....Just one question, is there any reason why CE
and RS could be installed on the one machine, I have limited resources at
hand, and I wish to prove my case for RS, however, I worried of corrupting
my test installation of CE. Would there be any conflict errors?

Kind Regards

Rikesh
