DMS utilizes two reporting engines:

1. DMS Reports
2. Crystal Reports (Version XI)

DMS Reports is a powerful report writer based on FastReports™ and does not required a separate user license; the user license is included with DMS.  Although Crystal Reports has served us well, it is getting dated, is slow, and uses older technology.  Moving forward, report development in DMS will focus the DMS Reports module.  Crystal Reports will coexist in DMS with the DMS Reports.  Nevertheless, because of the age of Crystal Reports and its technology, future operating system releases may not support Crystal Reports.  Therefore, we encourage you to convert any custom Crystal Reports to the new DMS Reports.
