Key Reporting Scenarios
SQL Server Reporting Services combines a single, complete
reporting platform with a scalable and extensible architecture to
meet a wide variety of reporting needs, including:
- Enterprise reporting. Enterprises can use
Reporting Services for their operational reporting or business
intelligence applications. Using Reporting Services, corporate IT
staff can design a variety of reports and deploy them to
individuals throughout the enterprise.
- Ad-hoc reporting. SQL Server 2005 Reporting
Services includes Report Builder, a new ad-hoc reporting tool that
enables business users to create their own reports and explore
corporate data. Report Builder incorporates a user-friendly
business query model that enables users to build reports without
deep technical understanding of the underlying data sources.
- Embedded reporting. Organisations can access
predefined or ad-hoc reports from third-party applications that use
Reporting Services and use these reports as-is, customise them, or
create new ones for specific business needs.
- Web-based reporting for partners and
customers. Organisations can deploy interactive Web-based
reports to deliver information to customers or partners over
extranets or the Internet. Reporting Services isolates report
consumers from the complexity of the underlying data sources, while
providing personalisation and interactivity.
