At their recent Ignite conference in Chicago, Microsoft unleashed a flood of new information about their products and services across a wide variety of functions.   Business Intelligence was not left out, by any means, with announcements of exciting new cloud-based offerings such as Azure Data Warehouse and Azure Data Lake.  But given all the focus […]

So I thought it might be a good idea to update the post for use with SQL Reporting. The original post was created for SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). […]

I’m not sure why exactly, but I have always loved SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). If you didn’t already know it, I’m here to let you know that Windows Azure has a similar version called SQL Reporting. In everything I see about Windows Azure, SQL Reporting doesn’t seem to be talked about much. SQL Reporting doesn’t […]

PerformancePoint, Reporting, and Excel Services on an iPad… it can’t be.  It is a fact.  What? You don’t believe me check out this link and see for yourself.  This feature was included in the December 2011 SharePoint 2010 CU.  However, I have some bad news if you have recently updated to iOS 6.

Last week, Perficient presented a webinar on using SharePoint as a platform in a highly regulated environment.
