Crystal Reports Webinars from ASUG – 1/18/17 thru 5/10/17
The Global BusinessObjects Network (GBN)) is sponsoring a webcast mini-series called Mastering SAP Crystal Reports that starts on 1/18/17. All webinars are at noon Eastern Time every other week. The first session is open to everyone, but you must be an ASUG member to attend any of the other sessions.
GBN is an ASUG Special Interest Group (SIG) that represents users of SAP BusinessObjects and its various reporting tools who are not necessarily using other SAP software. All of these sessions focus on Crystal itself without regard to what type of data is being connected to.
The speakers for these sessions are people (like me) who have many years of experience with Crystal in a lot of different industries and environments.
Here’s the schedule:
