Database Reporting Made Easy Digest - January, 20
Database Reporting Made Easy Digest-Crystal - January, 2006
A Free Service from Hammerman Associates, Inc. (HAI) to Make Database Reporting
Easier, Faster, Cheaper
For Crystal Reports and R&R Report Writer Users
The staff at Hammerman Associates wishes all our readers, customers, students, vendors, competitors and potential customers a happy, safe and prosperous new year.
The demand for people with business intelligence skills increased by 50 percent from January 1, 2005 to January 4, 2006. The key to worthwhile reports has little to do with the software: It rests on the analytical skills of the people at the keyboards formulating the queries and efficiently presenting results in a way that makes a difference in the organization. We are committed to serving the people that serve up the data. We will continue to make database reporting easier, faster, more accurate in the coming year.
As you read this I am traveling west along with my wife and dog on a cross country RV trip. We will visit 14 states along the East Coast and Southern Tier. Click here to follow our progress!
You can call the office (1-800-783-2269) to arrange a visit.
