About Us

Surfing Gecko Software is a young,  dynamic company that combines drive and a professional attitude with an informal working environment. We design, develop and market our products in-house.

Surfing Gecko Software is not your typical company.  Sure, we like money.  Send us bags full, but it is certainly not our most important goal.

Our most important goal is to quite simply enjoy our lives.  To find a nice balance between work and play.  In doing so, we hope we will, in some small way, help you enjoy yours.

Here are a few simple "rules" we try to follow;

  • Work hard, but not too much.

  • Play harder, but not too much.

  • Family comes first. ALWAYS.

  • Turn off the TV and get outside and do something.

  • Treat others as we would like to be treated.

These "rules" lend themselves perfectly to define our motto --

Work.Play.Live

Surfing Gecko Software was founded in 2000 with a commitment to creating easy-to-use, functional and intuitive solutions to situations that are currently dogging organizations.

 

It was also of utmost importance to offer our solutions to individuals and organizations -- affordably.

 

Our two primary goals in this effort;

  • To identify areas where productivity can be gained by specifically providing functionality enhancement with emphasis on intuitiveness and simplicity.

  • To design a solution that will not re-invent the wheel, but complement or fit as a logical and practical extension to an existing environment.

And specifically, we want to focus our offering to those organizations that have no other affordable means of easily distributing their Crystal Reports.  

Crystal Ease® was developed with this key  objective in mind and works to complement an existing infrastructure by extending the power of Crystal Reports®.

 

What We Offer:

Single focus on our customers and our product offering.  We went from doing custom work in the early 2000's to focusing  in 2003 when we identified a need to provide an easy to use solution for client side report distribution and while we were advised early on that our pricing strategy was too low, we remained true to our desire to provide Crystal Ease® at an easy and affordable price. 

For over five years now this has worked and Crystal Ease® remains one of the most popular viewers available.

 

Where We Deliver:

Price, Quality and Service.  Our pricing strategy is based on a low per seat cost approach intended to aid smaller business with a 10-User License (10L) and an Unlimited License (UL) for mid to larger companies with widespread desktop neeeds. Now, with over five years of business behind us, the product is very stable and this stability further reduces the cost of ownership and helps us keep our prices low.  Add to this our Free email product support and free program updates, and it is clear we are delivering our goals.
