At CrystalTrainingSource.com, we provide full service Crystal Report training. Our services include scheduled Crystal Report classes, on-line Crystal Reports Training, in-house Crystal training, and custom Crystal consulting. We are experts in training Crystal Reports versions 8.5/9/10 and 11, including  Crystal Enterprise.

We provide Crystal Report training geared for novices through expert users, Crystal developers, and Crystal Report consultants. Crystal Training Source provides full service Crystal training and development in sunny Florida or at your work site anywhere in America.

We design our projects in tasks, where both the customer and Lee Consulting Group (LCG) understand exactly what the deliverables are, so there are no surprises during implementation. We strive for good analysis/design and to communicate well during this process.

As each task is defined, we determine the estimated man-hours to complete each project. Once the customer and LCG have jointly reviewed the tasks, we classify the project, which basically determines the project hourly rate. The longer the project, the lower the rate. This gives our customer a basis to budget each project. Payment terms are generally discussed and included before projects begin.

We provide a variety of custom programming solutions (whether new development or maintenance of existing programs). Here are a few languages and databases we specialize in:

Visual Basic, .NET Technologies
Crystal Reporting
C\C++
COBOL
Clipper
RPG AS/400
SQL Server 2000
Pervasive
xBase

We provide services to our customers beginning at the planning stage all the way to implementation.

If there is a need or requirement to start using Standard X12/EDIFACT EDI documents, give us a call.

We have experienced consultants that use a variety of EDI Translators.

Whether simple or complex, we have the staff to assist you in getting management reports quickly and efficiently - and at a cost you can afford.

To keep those costs down - we use Crystal Reports © which is the industry's number one report generator. It basically saves a lot of programming time to develop reports - which equates to a substantial cost savings. Also, the functionality is very impressive. You can easily export reports into a variety of formats, such as Excel, Word, PDF, and HTML. HTML means you can provide reporting results on the Internet or intranet. A great way to share management information and the functionality keeps getting better and better.

We also write front-end programs (using Visual Basic, .NET and/or MS Access) to produce Crystal reports. For example, if you need a report to show:

Aging for customer for a specified period of time
Able to see it by a single customer
For different aging buckets

A simple Visual Basic program will allow you to select what criteria you need and produce the report. The good thing here is that the report stays the same where as the front end provides the flexibility to see the reports from three report options. This again, takes less time to program, which equates to a cost savings.

The majority of our work involves data conversions, which we automate for a very reasonable cost. Some of our satisfied clients are Insurance companies that use our services to convert and compare data to master databases.

Next time you have to do manually manipulate data, call us to see how we can make it less painful. Our existing customers called and they are glad they did. It costs nothing to ask.

Our SAP Finance & Logistics Practice has the skills and experience to provide you with quality R/3 implementations at a reasonable rate. We have steadily built an excellent reputation in the industry, with highly experienced consultants who have become leading specialists in their fields. Our expertise, combined with our SAP software knowledge and thorough grounding in a proven ASAP methodology, virtually guarantees a successful implementation. 

Our SAP consulting team is organized to deliver solutions based on vertical industry sectors. Focused initiatives have resulted in repeated successes in our SAP implementations. Business process templates, SAP R/3 models, and consultants' experience in specific industry scenarios are leveraged in developing our industry focus.  

For fast and cost-effective deployment of R/3 applications, We offers the following implementation tools and services. 

Pre-Implementation Tools and Services

We provide you with pre-implementation services that include strategic design, on-site scoping, and evaluation. We use a series of templates and accelerators that include industry best practices accumulated from other implementations and templates. Our consultants use these tools to conduct feasibility studies, scoping analyses, strategy design blueprint studies, organizational R/3 rollout strategies, and workshops that will help you in your project planning and preparation phase. We will help you build an organization-specific solution map and arrive at an effective IT rollout plan with a detailed project plan and cost-of-ownership for each phase of your implementation. With our experienced basis and infrastructure teams, we can provide scoping and sizing services for your server and network infrastructure facilities. 

Implementation Tools and Services

During the lifecycle of a project, we provide many services to ensure effective implementation and Go-Live of SAP R/3. These services include: 

Industry-specific best practices

Access to the tools and accelerators from SAP that will help in your R/3 implementation. Industry-specific best practices can help you jump-start your R/3 efforts and can also be used to demonstrate key functionality during the implementation. Industry focus is key to our SAP implementations. For example, a high-tech manufacturing environment looking for a vendor forecasting solution can access ready-to-use templates from the ASAP set of accelerators. The template provides a complete set of tools, including an R/3 business process model, configuration scripts, training documentation, and integration test scripts, as well as access to our demo system. 

Business process tools and templates

Based on best practices for specific industry scenarios, the templates captures the to-be process and identifies the process stakeholders and the detailed work plan required to achieve the desired business process. This also provides a standard business process flow using R/3 Technology. We also use a dedicated set of tools that supplement the ASAP accelerators in data conversion, testing, and quality control to effectively deploy R/3 in an accelerated timeline. Combined with our TeamSAP approach, our implementation methodology ensures our clients a seamless transition to R/3. 

Post-Implementation Tools and Services

A successful R/3 implementation depends on how well it is utilized following implementation. Training, therefore, becomes the driving success factor. We have developed training courses for specific user roles. We also provide extensive training on R/3 technology to the implementation team during an implementation. We can deliver custom courses and/or leverage training materials from previous implementations.
