If you have never utilized the power and ease of Crystal Reports to customize or build your own Viewpoint or Sage software's reports, this introductory class is for you.  You will learn how to extract data to better track profits and changes in projects.  Note that hands-on exercises will not use specific software, such as Vista, Spectrum or Sage 300, but rather a generic construction-based database built to teach you Crystal Reports for your industry.  The instructor, David Hardy will be available to answer software-specific questions during class.  He has extensive knowledge when it comes to writing reports for both Sage and Viewpoint..
