		<description><![CDATA[I posted KPI report in previous entry, something that really cool in SSRS 2008. There is another method to display a trend without much attention on number and achievements. It’s called sparklines. There are many occasions when decision maker only need to know the trend regardless of actual values. A simple visualizations can help them [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reporting Services 2008 brought many enhancements for data visualization. The queen is Gauge, which is ideal tool to create scorecard and KPI. Imagine the report popping up in front of manager with colourful and fancy indicators like this: Gauge is only one among many other things.

		<description><![CDATA[I did presentation for MaxIT event on May 29, 2009 and one of the interesting discussion was SharePoint integration with Reporting Services. I know that SharePoint is hot here in Singapore. I also did demo on some new features of SSRS 2008 such as tablix and charting. My presentation slide can be downloaded here:
<iframe scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" frameborder="0" style="width:240px;height:66px;margin:3px;padding:0;border:1px solid #dde5e9;background-color:#ffffff;" src="http://cid-a2fea47247652396.skydrive.live.com/embedrowdetail.aspx/Public/ChoirulPresentation/SSRS2008-Excel-SharePoint.pdf"></iframe>
There are several advantages of integrating SSRS with SharePoint:
<ul>
	<li>Seamless UI for end user. They do not need to jump from one screen to another to open report and SharePoint dashboard at the same time.</li>
	<li>All reports are deployed as document library, so it follows all SharePoint library setting. It saves lots of time instead of managing report in separate report manager.</li>
	<li>All reports are under SharePoint security setting, giving better consolidated administrative from SharePoint perspective</li>
	<li>Render reports inside web part. It makes building SharePoint dashboard faster and easier.</li>
</ul>
What do we need to configure this:
<ul>
	<li>SharePoint Services 3.0 or MOSS 2007, It’s better if upgraded to SP1 or SP2.</li>
	<li>SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services with SP2, or Reporting Services 2008.</li>
	<li>Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint. There are 2 versions of add-in: <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0ACB75A6-7C1D-4E2B-AF69-7E5F9ECAD299&#38;displaylang=en">SSRS 2005</a> and <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=58edd0e4-255b-4361-bd1e-e530d5aab78f&#38;displaylang=en">SSRS 2008</a>.</li>
</ul>
Configuration can be simple (all in one box) or scale up to separate boxes. Below is the logical architecture if SSRS and SharePoint are installed on separate boxes:

<a href="http://choirulamri.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/ssrssharepoint.png"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="ssrs-sharepoint" src="http://choirulamri.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/ssrssharepoint-thumb.png" border="0" alt="ssrs-sharepoint" width="536" height="303" /></a>

Assuming that SharePoint already installed, below are the explanations to do integration.]]></description>
