The other week we had a great ASUG webcast with the SAP Product Team from SAP China. This is the first time in several years that we have had a Crystal Reports webcast with the SAP Product team.
SAP also informed me this is the 25th anniversary of Crystal Reports. Where I work we have used Crystal Reports for several years. It is still the best SAP BI client tool that works with SAP ECC (it can “talk” to the ECC/ERP tables unlike other tools). It can also use the ABAP ALV as a data source. No other BI tools can do that.
So now on to the webcast recap below, also posted here.
This was an ASUG webcast week given by SAP. More upcoming ASUG webcasts can be found here Upcoming ASUG Business Intelligence Community Webcasts
