SQL Server 2008 - Reporting Services

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services provides a complete, server-based platform designed to support a wide variety of reporting needs enabling organizations to deliver relevant information where needed across the entire enterprise.

The Report Server Web service exposes all the necessary methods to integrate Reporting Services into your own applications to manage your report catalog or render reports to a supported format. In addition, with URL access, you access reports through a report server URL. A URL request enables you to access reports and customize the report viewing and navigation experience for your users.

The Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Feature Pack introduces Report Builder 2.0. This tool provides an authoring environment for business users who prefer to work in the familiar Microsoft Office environment. You can use Report Builder 2.0 to work with data, define a layout, preview a report, and publish a report to a report server or SharePoint site.
