Crystal report is the application used in processing and producing reports from a wide range of data sources. Through a crystal report distribution software or CRD, you can run and generate crystal reports easily and as per well defined schedules. The business processes in modern enterprises have to be automated to ensure the timely generation of reports for devising crucial strategies and taking important business decisions. It may not be practical and cost effective to manually generate and send reports every time to different departments in an enterprise. Nevertheless, the reports may be crucial and have to be sent. The CRD is an effective crystal reports scheduler that can automatically generate error free reports any time in specified formats- MS Word, MS Excel, HTML, RTF, Acrobat or text.

CRD also gives you the flexibility to generate and distribute crystal reports as per events rather than date and time. You can also augment your crystal report scheduler with real time monitoring when you use the event based scheduling option. You can pre set the reports to be sent when a database value reflects on the system, ...
... when certain modifications are made in a file or when an email is received or sent.

The use of CRD proves very helpful in business process management. – the systematic approach to make an organization’s work flow more effective, efficient and capable of adapting to changes in the market and industry environment. The timely generation and distribution of business reports is integral to the efficiency of business processes and business process management therefore requires the use of automation tools to schedule, produce and send business reports. CRD can not only schedule, run and deliver different business reports automatically but also print, fax, disk, ftp, email or SMS them to different destinations, as required. This reduces the need for manual intervention and eliminates the chance of any error or delay in report generation. You can also set the same report to run multiple times with different parameters, formats, frequencies and destinations.

CRD can work in different versions of Windows operating systems including Windows NT4SP6a, Windows 2000, Windows 2000 Server, Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server, Windows Vista 64 and Windows Server 2008.
