Speaker: Randy Hayes

Topic: Sex appeal for your data – Dress it up with SQL Reporting Services

Abstract: So, you’ve got data? Now it’s time to give it a fresh face and show it off. Let Microsoft SQL Reporting Services be your stylist.
At this presentation, we will explore the value that Reporting Services brings to the table. We’ll delve into aspects from setup and deployment to connecting reports to data, data sources, and analytical cubes. We’ll see what are some of the basic steps to getting a report off the ground and how to expand it to make it fit your needs. As well, we’ll take a look at the interface to the services and how you can expose them to your applications, your SharePoint’s and your users.
