History[edit]

Terry Cunningham and the Cunningham Group originated the software in 1991.^[2] Crystal Services Inc. marketed the product^[3] (originally called 'Quik Reports') when they couldn't find a suitable commercial report writer for their accounting software.^{[citation needed]} After producing versions 1.0 through 3.0, Crystal Services was acquired by Seagate Technology in 1994.^[4] Crystal Services was combined with Holistic Systems to form the Information Management Group of Seagate Software, which later rebranded as Crystal Decisions and produced versions 4.0 through 9.0. Crystal Decisions was acquired in December 2003 by BusinessObjects, which produced versions 10, 11 (XI) and version 12 (2008).

SAP acquired BusinessObjects on October 8, 2007 and released Crystal Reports 2011 (version 14) on May 3, 2011. The latest version released is Crystal Reports 2016 (version 14.2.x) on March 8, 2016.

The file extension for Crystal Reports' proprietary file format is .rpt. The design file can be saved without data, or with data for later viewing or sharing. Introduced with the release of Crystal Reports 2011 (version 14.0), the read-only .rptr file extension option allows for viewing, but cannot be modified once exported.^[5]

Several other applications, including Microsoft Visual Studio versions 2003 through 2008, and Borland Delphi, at one time bundled an OEM version of Crystal Reports as a general purpose reporting tool.^[6] Microsoft discontinued this practice and later released their own competing reporting tool, SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS).^{[7][verification needed]}
