Visit websites that specialize in Crystal Reports help

While the official Crystal Reports Help website offers sufficient assistance, other sites can supplement these traditional sources of hints and tips. Sometimes the smaller sites are more agile, and thus quicker to publish helpful Crystal Reports information.

I recommend: Register with the official Crystal Reports Help site to obtain available hints and tips. Attend the free webinars from CrystalReports.com for an introduction to the software for new users. And look at the website Crystalkeen, which archives all types of help articles for Crystal Reports technical support.

Enroll in Crystal Reports online training classes and tutorials

Because the Crystal Reports resources and the software itself thoroughly integrate into the Internet, it's much easier for your employees to attend Crystal Reports training online than in a traditional classroom setting.

I recommend: Evaluate the tutorials which the Crystal Reports company Business Objects offers for its product. These courses can be more expensive than others are but provide more detail in their Crystal Reports training. Decide if you want to purchase the Crystal Reports online training course from the company Remote Course.

Hire a Crystal Reports consultant or trainer

Sometimes your business will have employees and situations where online tutorials are just not enough and you need to hire a consultant to train these employees in person. Because people learn in different ways, it may be more effective to employ a combination of online and classroom training to buttress the efficiency of the Crystal Reports software in your company.

I recommend: Contact the trainers at Webucator who offer a combination of online and classroom training and help with Crystal Reports. Call the Crystal Reports consulting professionals at SaberLogic, which also offers training and implementation services for business.
