SQL On The Edge #8 - SQL Server Mobile Report Publisher
The Mobile Report Publisher (in preview currently) is a new report and dashboard editor to publish reports to Reporting Services and it's part of the bigger road map that Microsoft has for their Business Intelligence On-Premises story. Now we all know that in the cloud Power BI has been getting a large amount of investments but on-premises there was a big gap that was getting wider and wider until now.
This Reporting Services refactor is the biggest change made to the product since SQL Server 2005 was released over 10 years ago. Leveraging the best parts of the Datazen acquisition, the Microsoft team is targeting to provide a cohesive BI story that integrates Web based and mobile reports, Report Builder reports and Power View style of modern visuals.
In the demo I'm going to walk through the new SSRS interface preview in CTP 3.2 and then walk through creating a quick dashboard for both desktop and mobile consumption using the publisher. Let's check it out!
