• This seems to be the proper audience for the following scenario so here it goes...

    We have multiple databases that each have multiple reports for the client delivered in an Excel format.

    The databases are OLTP with no plans for a Data Warehouse any time soon. Data is pulled using Stored Procedures in SSMS and then copy/paste to Excel. Then Pivot tables present this the data to the end user.

    There are nearly 200 Reports that need to be updated weekly for delivery to the client. Many of those reports take multiple stored procedures that may take any where from 30seconds to 20 minutes to run. Many of the stored procedures cannot run concurrently due to contension issues, thus they are all run in serial.

    Currently, the plan is to develop custom software that can Schedule the reports. Run the stored procedures and copy them into Excel automatically. A prototype has been developed.

    Would that be the recommend solution or something else?
