SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 for DBAs and Developers
NY Metro SQL Server Users Group Meeting Tonight
Since the recent release of SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 1, Reporting Services is included with SQL Server Express Edition. So now is a great time to start working with SQL Server Reporting Services, if you are not doing so already.
Several parts of the reporting lifecycle - report design, deployment, and delivery will be covered. The presentation will highlight areas of interest for both database administrators and developers, and explore some scenarios where Reporting Services can be very useful such as server management reporting and leveraging Reporting Services extensibility to enable self-service reporting for business users.
The speaker will be Laura Zachary, a Group Manager in R&D for Systems Union, a Microsoft Gold Certified partner. Ms. Zachary has been working very closely with Microsoft, and was instrumental in the design and development of Systems Union's product MIS Plain's early integration with SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services. In addition to product development, Laura has experience implementing solutions at large multi-national companies. She joined Systems Union through the acquisition of MIS AG, where she started over seven years ago. Ms. Zachary holds a B.A. from Rutgers University.
I met Laura at the NYC SQL 2005 Launch and when I told her about our group she said she would love to come and speak.
