Geographic Business Intelligence in a “Flash”: ESRI Viewer for Crystal Reports Launched by APOS Systems Inc.
Kitchener, Canada, November 14, 2008 --(PR.com)-- APOS Systems, the leading provider of extensions to the Business Objects platform, and ESRI Authorized Business Partner, announced today the release of the ESRI Viewer for Crystal Reports, a powerful new tool that quickly and easily integrates sophisticated live mapping into Crystal Reports 2008, and BusinessObjects XI, supporting both ESRI ArcIMS and ArcGIS Server.
“We’re particularly excited about the increasing global interest in Location Intelligence, enabling customers to combine business intelligence with GIS in valuable and exciting ways,” said Dan Clements, President of APOS Systems Inc. “Incorporating BI data from disparate data sources into a GIS-based analytical experience has been talked about for some time, but now we’re accomplishing it in a manner that will allow organizations of all sizes and levels of complexity to be involved and benefit from the enhanced intelligence.”
The ESRI Viewer for Crystal Reports 2008 is a Flash-based viewer for ESRI GIS platforms, created using the ESRI Flex SDK and Adobe Flex, and supported by APOS’ unparalleled experience in developing Business Objects extensions.
The new viewer enables powerful viewing of ESRI maps with Crystal Reports 2008, enabling Crystal Reports designers to easily embed live map viewing right inside their reports, or in reports exported to PDF. With the viewer’s drilldown capability, users can see different thematic analysis information on each map level as they drill down. This enables the user to perform all the drilldown and analysis capability inherent in the viewer, right from a PDF.
“An obvious benefit involves using the power of Crystal Reports to bring data together from any number of different data sources and then, using the new viewer, include thematic data within the map display itself – as tooltips, highlighting, an acetate layer of actual data, etc.”, described Clements. “Imagine the impact of receiving a PDF in your email inbox that contains a live map with embedded analysis data...it’s truly powerful.”
The new APOS ESRI Viewer for Crystal Reports 2008 is also included in the APOS enterprise integration solution, for companies who wish to integrate BusinessObjects XI with ESRI. The APOS Integration Kit for ESRI GIS offers full bidirectional integration between Business Objects and ESRI ArcGIS Server, ArcIMS and ArcGIS Desktop. This capability allows such innovative solutions as a 'side-by-side' presentation, where a map and a report are side by side in one view, with the ability to click on the report to refresh the map, or click on the map to refresh the report.
