Unified Tools for Data Integration, Analysis, and Reporting
Built-in designers and integration tools enable developers to provide richer information from multiple data sources, sharing information through multiple channels, and consolidating data from diverse formats. Data-driven applications built on SQL Server 2005 can help organizations manage ever-increasing volumes of data while delivering enriched decision-making capabilities. Consistent design and development tools and methodology minimize the learning curve for developers.
Embedded and Ad-hoc Reporting
Inform key decision-makers through embedded reports and ad-hoc reporting. Embedded reports, including support for online and offline scenarios, allow developers to create intelligent Windows- and Web-based applications that empower users at all levels of the organization. You can easily design embedded reports using the Visual Studio report designer, and enhance data reporting through support for non-Microsoft extensions and visualizations. Ad-hoc reporting functionality empowers business decision-makers without exposing the database schema.
