Greetings!
Emerged transformed.
Think about that concept and you'll easily recall many examples found in nature. A caterpillar becomes a Monarch butterfly, capable of migrating thousands of miles from the northern United States to Mexico, but only after spending time in a chrysalis or cocoon. The bulbs of the tulips and daffodils we enjoy in the spring require weeks of exposure to continuous cold before they are able to bloom. To become something new, successful, and brilliant often requires a period of quiet transformation.

Shorten Development Time with this Formatting Property
|
Back in Crystal Reports version 9, with very little fanfare, a powerful property was added to the Common tab of the Format Editor of report objects. It is the Display String Property.
With its conditional formatting button, you can take a database value and convert it to a string to display on the report. While this does not do anything that you could not do with a formula, it can save you hours of development time.

Advanced Universe Design:
Improve Skills, Database Performance, and Business Performance
|
Designing a Universe is not a simple task. We're not talking about some metaphysical act of creation here, simply building the easy-to-navigate interface that let's non-technical managers and executives build their own reports and easily interact with dashboards from BusinessObjects Edge/Enterprise.
In this article we'll explore a course offering that goes beyond what many Universe Designers already have mastered. The results obtained after taking this course include reduced Universe Design hours needed and improved database responsiveness. In non-tech speak, less time spent waiting for your report or dashboard to deliver the answers you need and more time spent analyzing the results to improve your business.

|
Financier J.P. Morgan was asked by a reporter how much Morgan's yacht cost to operate. "If you have to ask, you can't afford it," was Morgan's reply. In the past, some companies who have asked about the investment in Business Intelligence have finished the conversation feeling like they heard the same answer.
Today, businesses looking to make strategic investments are demanding that the ROI (Return On Investment) be achieved in months, or at least within one to two years. While Business Intelligence may be the number one priority of CIO's and IT Directors in 2009, one question remains: "How do we make Business Intelligence deliver a return on investment quickly?"
