A 3rd option would be to look at a Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) integrated reporting solutions like Yurbi - https://communities.bmc.com/communities/community/tap/showcase/yurbi?view=overview
<https://communities.bmc.com/communities/community/tap/showcase/yurbi?view=overview>With Yurbi you can save a tremendous amount on not only the BOXI licenses but more importantly in the time and expertise needed to build reports and dashboards. It's a 100% web based platform that is designed for the business user, so there is no query creation or sql programming needed to create reports, dashboards. The biggest value if you wanted to combine data from phone system databases or other databases like financial, erp, crm, etc, you can do that with Yurbi again without writing sql queries or doing any data warehousing or replication. Here's a direct link to the site, we offer a 30 day free trial as well - http://www.yurbi.com/ thanks, David On Thu, Apr 7, 2011 at 10:33 AM, Easter, David <[email protected]> wrote: > Rajesh is correct - the Enterprise premium editions of Crystal Reports of > BOXI would be needed to integrate with the Mid-Tier and thus be able to view > Crystal Reports through the web client.
