Seagate previews Web-based enterprise reporting tool

To compete effectively in today`s market, organisations need to react faster than ever to rapidly changing business conditions and increase shareholder value by driving up revenues and reducing costs.

To meet this need, Seagate Software has unveiled plans for the upcoming launch of its Web-based enterprise reporting solution designed to manage the delivery of information from e-business applications and to maximise the return on investment in data.

"Crystal Enterprise is a scalable Web-based infrastructure will help companies design and deliver interactive, structured business information to employees, customers, partners and other applications, inside and outside the company," says Inthiaz Cassimjee, country manager, Africa and Middle East at Seagate Software.

"Operating an e-business is shortly not going to be a differentiator, but a standard. Providing valuable business information, which may include, purchase trends and others, to your customers will certainly go a long in ensuring customer loyalty in days where customer loyalty is extremely fickle," he says "Crystal Enterprise is designed to facilitate these goals by enabling decision-makers across their organisation and their customers, to make better, faster decisions for improved business performance."

Crystal Enterprise provides access and analysis of critical information from e-business applications including ERP, CRM, Supply Chain Management, Data Warehousing, Knowledge Management and e-commerce, as well as legacy systems.

Built upon a scalable, reliable and extensible Web-based infrastructure that evolved from the experience of five generations of Seagate Info, Crystal Enterprise is a true e-business solution that utilises the Internet to make any company`s operations more efficient, more flexible and less expensive.
