Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS)
Information Technology > Database reportingDescription
Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) is a server-based reporting platform that allows users to create, manage, and deliver both traditional, paper-oriented reports and interactive, web-based reports. With SSRS, you can create tabular, matrix, graphical, and free-form reports from relational, multidimensional, or XML-based data sources. Reports can include rich data visualization, including charts, maps, and sparklines. You can publish reports, schedule report processing, or access reports on-demand. SSRS also provides a 'Report Builder' tool for less technical IT workers to format SQL reports of lesser complexity.
