Crystal Reports Consulting by Ken Hamady

Crystal Reports written for your system:
If you need to create or modify Crystal Reports, you can rent me by the hour to do the work. I will create and deliver your reports through a combination of remote sessions and Email, with no need to come on site. You can participate as much (or as little) as you like. Not only am I a Crystal Reports expert, but I also have an accounting degree and the experience needed to solve real business problems. I have been writing reports for 15 years in several management positions and as a consultant to a wide variety of clients.

I have created reports from more systems than I can remember. And, I am an expert at finding my way around a new system. Some of the more common systems I have worked with include ACCPAC, Peachtree, Macola, Goldmine, EHS, TIER, Razor's Edge, Softrax, ChangePoint and JD Edwards. Call and ask about your application.

What to do to get started:
Step 1) Prepare examples of the output you want. You can Email me a Spreadsheet mockup, or Fax/Email me an existing hard copy. Call to get my fax number if needed.

Step 2) Send me samples of your existing Crystal Reports (RPT files), if you have any. Please send the actual RPT files (not exports or screenshots). If possible, send reports that are related to the desired report(s). Even better if you can preview these RPT files and Save them with data but RPT files are helpful even if saved without data. I can sign an NDA if needed. And if you do not have any RPT files to use, don't worry. I often have to create them from scratch.

Step 3) (Optional) Download and install CrossLoop desktop sharing software. This is a small, simple, secure and free software package that will allow me to work remotely through one of the PC's in your office. If you already have a tool for remote sessions (Webex, Go To Meeting, etc) we can use that.

Step 4) Payment or Authorization. The charge for consulting is $140 per hour, billed in 15 minute increments. Your payment options include:

1) Prepay by check made payable to: Ken Hamady, LLC // 525K East Market St. PMB #299 // Leesburg, VA 20176
2) Prepay by Credit Card (prepaid time is good for 3 years but is not refundable, see FAQ #5)
3) Prepay using PayPal (prepaid time is good for 3 years but is not refundable, see FAQ #5)
