SQL Server 2016 Reporting Services

Comprehensive, modern, enterprise-ready reporting platform

Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) is a modern,

enterprise reporting platform that can scale to thousands of
users. It provides comprehensive reporting capabilities that
help you author, deliver and manage reports across your
organisation. With SQL Server Reporting Services, you can
provide your business users with secured access to reports
on the web, in Microsoft Power BI apps or on a Microsoft
SharePoint site. The rich set of tools enables developers to
extend and customise their reporting solution using a
familiar development environment.

At a glance
• Bring the power of data to more users in the organisation with mobile reports. With the built-in mobile BI
capabilities in SQL Server 2016, BI professionals can use familiar and easy-to-use tools to deliver insights that can
be accessed by business users in an intuitive, engaging way from their desktop or mobile device.
• Design modern paginated reports. Create and publish precisely-formatted, paginated, modern reports—
including rich data visualisations—with familiar tools such as Report Builder or Report Designer in SQL Server
Data Tools.
• Access all your reports in one place. With the Reporting Services web portal, you can manage and provide
secured access to your reports and KPIs in one place. The web portal is built on HTML5 technology and optimised
for modern browsers.
• Extend your on-premises solution to the cloud. Use Power BI dashboards and benefit from existing investments
in SQL Server Reporting Services. No need to recreate reports or move them to the cloud, simply pin existing
Reporting Services charts, gauges, maps and images to your Power BI dashboards.

• Predictable cost of ownership. With the reporting capabilities built in to SQL Server 2016, you can reduce
licensing complexity by not licensing critical enterprise reporting features a-la-carte.
