Publish Power BI Desktop Reports on-premises This modernized SSRS web experience delivers the foundation for centralized report consumption, embedding and sharing of BI reports for those organizations that desire an on-premises option (versus using Power BI in the cloud). The addition of this new report type in SSRS is accompanied by an entirely new web experience for Reporting Services allowing users to access both paginated and mobile reports in one centralized location.
With SQL Server 2016 we are taking a leap forward by adding support for mobile reports.
SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) to date has focused on paginated reports and offers class-leading capabilities for that format. Reporting Services is our on-premises solution for BI report delivery Excel is the most widely used analytical tool today and it will continue to be an important report type, critical to our solution on-premises and in the cloud.
Analytical reports and charts created with Excel. By specifically designing reports for different mobile form factors, we deliver on our promise and enable users to get business insights, any way, anywhere and from any device. We believe dedicated reports optimized for mobile devices and form factors provide an optimal experience for users accessing BI reports on mobile devices. Mobile reports are based on Datazen technology. It generates HTML5-based reports, ensuring compatibility across all modern browsers. Power BI Desktop is a contemporary visual data discovery application and the next generation of our Power View technology. Interactive reports built with Power BI Desktop. These reports will continue to be a standard report type. Paginated/operational reports have been a popular, invaluable foundation for day-to-day reporting and analytics for over a decade. Paginated reports allow for exact placement of elements on a page and are capable of complex display logic for creating printed reports or online operational reports. Paginated reports built with SQL Server Report Builder or SQL Server Data Tools. Our reporting path forward focuses on four report types: We intend to standardize reporting content types across Microsoft on-premises, cloud and hybrid systems. It is our intent that your reporting technology investments and expertise will transfer across these deployment modalities so you can easily mix and match on-premises and cloud components, and benefit from our unique hybrid scenarios. To achieve these requirements, we are aligning our cloud and on-premises solutions. Maximizing the potential of one’s data requires a platform that can work with data from on-premises systems and from the cloud – of any shape, size and arrival velocity, that can deliver insights wherever users may be, and in a form most convenient and accessible and that offers deployment options that best fit the needs of an organization, at any point in its journey. And from sources still emerging – data from the “Internet of Things.” From sources developed over the last decade – websites, mobile applications, social media and SaaS business applications. From traditional sources – on-premises enterprise applications and databases.
It is our objective to serve over a billion users with the Microsoft business intelligence (BI) platform.ĭata is coming at us from every direction.

Where are things heading in the future? These are frequent questions from our customers and partners.Īs we approach the release of SQL Server 2016 it’s a great time to tackle those questions in a definitive blog. While each year has seen advances across our product line, this past year’s progress is truly unprecedented.
