All businesses need a reliable and efficient reporting solution. Some organizations develop their own in-house solutions, while other organizations implement solutions using products available in the market. For many years, Business Objects Crystal Reports was the mainstream option for business reporting solutions, as evidenced by the bundling of Crystal Reports with other applications including Microsoft Visual Studio. While Crystal Reports has worked well for many companies, with the recent release of SQL Server Reporting Services, companies are re-evaluating their purchasing decisions and looking for a more unified and cost effective reporting solution. Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services (SSRS) is the emerging solution of choice for businesses requiring enterprise reporting capabilities and competes directly with top-tier reporting solutions like Crystal Reports.
