Today at the 2004 Professional Association for SQL Server (PASS) Community Summit in Orlando, Fla., Microsoft Corp. extended its comprehensive data platform by demonstrating new business intelligence (BI) capabilities for Microsoft® SQL Server (TM) 2000 and SQL Server 2005. In the opening keynote address, Bill Baker, general manager for SQL Server BI at Microsoft, announced new Microsoft SQL Server Report Packs for Microsoft Exchange Server and Microsoft Business Solutions CRM. The Report Packs, available for free via download beginning today, will provide customers with templates of commonly used SQL Server Reporting Services reports that users can easily modify for their own reporting needs. Baker also confirmed that Reporting Services Report Builder, a self-service ad hoc query tool for building reports, based on technology recently acquired from ActiveViews Inc., will be included in SQL Server 2005 Beta 3. In addition, SQL Server Integration Services, formerly Data Transformation Services (DTS), has been enhanced for SQL Server 2005 Beta 3 with more robust and flexible features that allow customers to integrate data from any location. With these new built-in BI capabilities, customers using SQL Server will experience greater insight into their business, resulting in increased return on investment and business productivity for the entire organization.
