The Population Council Standardizes on Crystal Reports Server XI
SAN JOSE, Calif. & PARIS -- Business Objects (Nasdaq:BOBJ) (Euronext Paris ISIN code: FR0004026250 - BOB), the world's leading provider of business intelligence (BI) solutions, today announced that the Population Council, a global nonprofit organization that conducts research on HIV and AIDS, reproductive health, and poverty reduction, has standardized on Crystal Reports(R) Server XI. Using the web-based reporting solution from Business Objects, the Population Council can provide instant access to critical financial data and flexible reporting capabilities to its staff in 18 countries around the globe.
"We needed a way to more easily and effectively share financial information between and among our headquarters and international offices," said Stan Mierzwa, director of information technology at the Population Council. "Crystal Reports Server empowers employees to get information independently and run their own reports. This anywhere, anytime access to information allows our entire staff to leverage resources to better manage day-to-day finances in the field."
The Population Council conducts biomedical, social science, and public health research. As with any nonprofit organization, tight budgets and strict tax laws require diligent attention to expenses. The Council manages financial operations from its New York City headquarters. Prior to using Crystal Reports Server XI, the New York-based international program staff had to produce and send monthly reports a time-consuming manual process to its offices in Vietnam, Senegal, Pakistan, Kenya, and other developing nations worldwide.
Using Crystal Reports Server XI, the Population Council now makes available real-time financial information to all international offices via an easy-to-use web-based interface. Integration with Microsoft Excel, Adobe PDF, and financial applications provides instant access to complete financial data. Now users can easily search through, drill down, export and print charts and metrics using Crystal Reports.
"The Population Council is another great example of how Business Objects can transform the way organizations of any size manage and share information," said Todd Rowe, vice president of worldwide mid-market business at Business Objects. "Crystal Reports Server XI provides a complete reporting solution, and is ideal for small and medium-sized companies looking to increase access to critical business data. We are pleased that Business Objects can play an essential role in helping a nonprofit like the Population Council achieve its broader goals."
