One of the not-so-well-known tools under the SQL Server umbrella is the SQL Server Reporting Services Report Builder. The Report Builder is a report authoring environment for business users who prefer to work in an environment similar to Microsoft Office.
The tool is a really powerful and a welcome addition to the Access reporting and Excel. Which developer doesn’t like a tool that let the end user create those boring reports himself so he can focus on writing some ‘real’ code?!
Find all the information on the Report Builder portal. One demo will be enough to convince your end users.
By the way, did I mention that it’s a free tool available for download here?
