Have you been reading my work? 🙂

I spent some time yesterday writing an email to try to put off the business from taking a bunch of non-IT business people, sending them on an expensive SSRS course and expecting them to write all the business reports before April when we have half a dozen experienced and trained people in IT who can not only write the reports, but work with the sql database to create views, stored procs, optimised queries, indexes etc. to return the minimum of data efficiently across the network.

Reports I've seen created by business staff involve dragging large quantities of data across the network to get a one page result and they then complain that it is slow. :rolleyes:
