Its Here! The Newly Remodeled SQL Server Reporting Services

Learn about the new features of SSRS 2016 and 2017
For years, SQL Server Reporting Services chugged along with very few updates. Although it remained a reliable and popular reporting tool, the feature set largely remained unchanged for a decade. With the most recent two major editions (2016 and the upcoming 2017), everything changed. Microsoft delivered a brand new SSRS, instantly transforming Reporting Services from a spartan reporting tool to a rich portal for at-a-glance metrics. No longer do you have to purchase a third-party reporting tool; everything you need is right here!

This session will review and demonstrate the newly-remodeled SQL Server Reporting Services. We'll walk through the essential changes in SSRS, from the all-new reporting portal to the new visualizations. We'll also discuss the SSRS ecosystem and how it fits together with mobile reports and its recent integration with PowerBI.
