Intial shipments to start early September 2006
DALLAS/Aug. 28, 2006 --- DataReference Inc today announced it will commence shipping Version 1.0 of its Report Migrator Software. The product will be licensed at the individual developer level. Report Migrator works hand in hand with Microsoft SQL Server 2005, previously earning dataReference the coveted Microsoft Front Runner award.
Report Migrator works conjunction with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and enables users to migrate Crystal Reports into Microsoft's Report Definition Language (RDL) so that the report can be run using Microsoft's SQL Server Reporting Services (SRS).
SQL Server Reporting Services is included with SQL Server 2005. SQL Server 2005 is the next-generation data management and analysis software that will deliver increased scalability, availability and security to enterprise data and analytical applications while making them easier to create deploy and manage.
"DataReference, Inc. is excited to support SQL Server 2005 because it's a great platform and a great leap forward," said Jon Capps, CEO of dataReference. "Achieving Front Runner status enabled us to deliver applications to clients within the same timeframe as the launch of SQL Server 2005. As a result of the solution we have developed, we are uniquely positioned to help our clients get the most from their technology investment."
Report Migrator allows clients to continue to develop reports using Crystal Reports Designer and distribute those reports utilizing SSRS. In this manner, clients maintain their investment in report design and gains a significantly more economical means to distribute the report across the Enterprise without retraining their development staff. Further, report distribution costs are reduced by 50 to 75 percent over using Crystal Enterprise.
Report Migrator is the way to migrate Crystal reports into Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) format. Most will migrate seamlessly, including tables, charts, images, simple and complex formulas, report/page/group headers and footers, filters, styles, summary fields, and sub reports. Database connections and embedded SQL statements are full supported. Current Crystal Reports can be grouped into named sets of files that can be migrated again and again. Report Migrator protects current investments and migrate reports in seconds, not days. It allows developers to use their current tool set and not relearn the report design/ distribution process.
The product will be offered in both a direct and channel based sales model.
