Centralized reporting governance

Keep Crystal Reports organized in one secure environment with clear structure, version control, and consistent distribution rules so every team works from the same trusted reports.

Automated scheduling and delivery

Run reports on a set schedule and deliver them automatically to the right stakeholders. Reduce repetitive manual tasks and make sure daily, weekly, or monthly reporting goes out on time.

Secure role-based access

Control who can view, edit, or distribute reports by role, team, or department. Protect sensitive data and support internal governance with clear access rules.

On-demand access to reports

Provide structured access to reports for business users, improving availability while reducing reporting dependencies and ad-hoc IT workload.

Consistent reporting across departments

Standardize reporting across teams so everyone uses the same logic and format, helping decisions stay faster and more aligned.

More reliable reporting cycles

FAQ

What is SAP Crystal Server?

SAP Crystal Server is where you run and share Crystal Reports across a company. Instead of manually emailing PDFs or keeping reports in shared folders, you publish them all in one place and deliver them on a schedule or on demand.

Is SAP Crystal Server the same as SAP BusinessObjects BI?

Crystal Server uses the same engine as BusinessObjects but is scaled for smaller deployments. Crystal Server is a central platform for managing and delivering Crystal Reports. BusinessObjects BI is a much bigger platform with more capabilities. If Crystal Reports is what you use, and you just want distribution and access under control, Crystal Server is usually enough.

Do we need Crystal Server if we already use Crystal Reports?

It depends. It depends on how you share reports today. If one person runs reports and sends them around manually, Crystal Server becomes useful the moment more teams depend on the same reports. It helps you stop rebuilding and resending the same outputs and makes report delivery predictable.

What do we need before starting an SAP Crystal Server implementation?

You don’t need a huge spec. Usually, it’s enough to know: which reports matter first, where the data comes from, who should receive the results, and how often. If you can also name who will “own” reporting on your side (IT or a reporting team), setup goes smoother.
