Jump-Start Conversions ($25): We convert most of the formatting for you. You finish out the conversion by making changes to your data connection string, making (usually) minor formatting tweaks, and finishing the conversion of all of your old Crystal Reports formulas into .Net functions. We do convert most of your Crystal Reports formulas into VB.Net functions, but there are some advanced formulas that you will need to handle yourself. We guarantee we can save you at LEAST two hours of work with our Jump-Start Conversions!

FULL Conversions ($99-$750): We convert your entire Crystal Reports template to a Reporting Services RDL. We also convert your SQL/stored procedures, too. You will send us your data, your RPTs, sample testing criteria (so we can test the output), and we will return back to you 100% working RDLs based on your old Crystal Reports template (and sometimes updated SQL code).

To get the cost of your FULL conversion, you will need to send us all of the reports you are wanting to convert. We will look at your reports and give you a FIXED cost for the conversion, on a report-by-report basis. This bid is based on converting ALL of the reports you send us. For example, you can't get an estimate on 20 reports, and pick the ten that we estimated at $99. We occasionally give discounts on some of the reports where we can, if it is a good order for us. So, just to reiterate, our estimates on FULL conversions are for ALL of the reports you send us.

There are a few Crystal Reports concepts that just do not work the same way in Reporting Services. Sometimes, we can not see if something will work or not until we begin the conversion. One of those is the concept of conditional drill-down. Sometimes we can do it easily; sometimes it takes a ton more work than expected. Sometimes, to do conditional drill-down in Reporting Services requires pretty much a re-write of the report and data structure. As long as we're comparing apples to apples, it's covered in the fixed conversion price. If it's an apples to oranges conversion, we will contact you with updated pricing. On large projects, this sometimes happens with 5-10% of the reports. You will get the opportunity to approve the additional costs before we proceed, though.

For the FULL conversions, there is a minimum ten (10) report order. Most FULL conversions cost $500 or less. For the $25 Jump-Start conversions, there are no minimums.

NOTE: Sub-reports with either conversion are NOT free. For the Jump-Start $25 conversions, sub-reports are $25 extra per subreport. For FULL conversions, we will include those in your project estimate. When you order your jump-starts, we have a specific "sub-report" item to purchase. This insures that you are aware that you have sub-reports in your reports, and tells us to keep an eye out for them.
