What is the Business Objects Crystal Decisions platform?

However, additional capabilities from the Enterprise product line are now included in Crystal Decisions Standard Edition, including Web Intelligence web-based report/query, Universe metadata management, Live Office Microsoft Office integration, and dashboard capabilities from Xcelsius. Moving up to the Professional edition adds additional Enterprise capabilities, such as data integration/ETL. The Premium edition adds scorecards and performance metrics.
