How is SAS different from Crystal Reports software?
Crystal Reports facilitates the building and viewing of typically operational reports from data and provides information associated with a particular function of an operational system. While reporting is an important component of the SAS BI environment and the SAS Enterprise Intelligence Platform, SAS reporting function leverages the full power of SAS software, including historical reporting, predictive analytics, relational data and multidimensional data. With SAS, reports can be viewed statically or interactively, allowing individual employees to modify the look of the report easily by applying filters.
