Our relationship with Business Objects: We are an approved third-party developer, and we work closely with people inside the Crystal Reports group. We strictly adhere to the licensing requirements that allow us to be third-party developers. This is also true of the vendors who work with us. We will not undermine Business Objects or cheat on license agreements. They are well aware of the value we add to their installed base of customers and they are happy we are in business.
