What ChristianSteven Software does

ChristianSteven Software is a privately held, bootstrapped business founded in 2002 and headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, that builds business intelligence report automation and scheduling software. The company's product suite is centered on four sub-brands — PBRS (Power BI Reports Scheduler and SSRS), ATRS (Advanced Tableau Report Scheduler), CRD (Crystal Reports Scheduler), and IntelliFront BI — which automate the export, bursting, and multi-destination delivery of BI reports from the dominant enterprise BI platforms. Its underlying technology uses a proprietary export process that bypasses Microsoft's API page-count limitations on Power BI, enabling delivery of reports over 50 pages without a Premium license, and supports event-based, data-driven, and custom-frequency scheduling (e.g., 4-4-5 retail calendars). Deliveries extend to email, Slack, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, Office 365, Azure, AWS, Google Sheets, SFTP/FTP, and network shares, with PDF security features including encryption, password protection, watermarks, DRM, and document expiry.

The company sells through a hybrid product-led growth motion — a 30-day unlimited free trial with no license, account, or credit card required, backed by a non-sales concierge — combined with enterprise field sales targeting large organizations via 'Book a Demo' discovery meetings. Licensing is offered as annual or multi-year subscriptions or as perpetual licenses with optional support, priced on production usage or installations rather than per-seat or per-feature, with all features, unlimited administrators, server users, recipients, and processors included. Customers are large enterprises across healthcare (NHS UK, 3M Healthcare Information Systems), financial services (Mizuho Americas, Mesirow Financial), commodities (Glencore), transportation (Penske), telecom/software (Amdocs), and distribution/logistics (Uline), with roughly 5,000 clients served across 47 countries.

Operationally, ChristianSteven runs as a small organization (11–50 employees) that averages 900,000+ reports generated and delivered per day in 2025 and maintains a Net Promoter Score of 82 alongside a 96.1% first-call technical-support resolution rate. The company is SOC 2 Type II certified with real-time monitoring and is led by co-founder and CEO Christian Ofori-Boateng, with co-founder Steven Amani as Chief Software Architect. No external funding rounds, acquisitions, or institutional investors are disclosed; growth has been organic since 2002.
