• A complete rebuild of SSRS so that central reporting can look better, deliver more value and take less time to develop.

    Central reporting is necessary for day-to-day reports, high performance requirements, and anything that should be kept rigorously audited. By not putting any development into a tool fundamentally geared towards providing this function it increases risk within businesses as users find they can produce reports in Excel that look better and take less time to build. This is great except you start getting rogue departments who make decisions off of incorrect figures or are able to massage their figures and hide issues. I like self-service BI but I think there has to be a core suite of central reporting that covers the majority of the requirements within an organisation otherwise most people will spend their time building and maintaining spreadsheets.
