Planned Microsoft Realtime Reporting Server Could Rock Analytics World | |
|
||
| Time: 01:00 EST/06:00 GMT | News Source: CRN | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner | ||

Microsoft is poised to fire a shot later this year to be heard 'round the business intelligence world. The company is quietly working on a realtime reporting server, to carry the Office label, that theoretically would deliver timely updates from all manner of back-office applications, several sources said. The planned server, going under the code-name Maestro, is expected to hit beta this summer. It will be built on various pieces of Microsoft's stack, including SQL Server reporting services and notification services, as well as the score carding expertise from the Office group, sources said. "As I understand it, it will take advantage of those pieces to let users create executive dashboards tapping into Siebel or PeopleSoft or SAP data," said a large integrator based in the Midwest. |

We are already using SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services as integrated with Microsoft Operations Manager 2004. It no only provides me and my team with real time status of over 6700 Intel servers throughout the corporation where I work. But, I can provide real time or near real time reporting to various levels of upper management with detail tailored to their needs. We recently integrated SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services into our "morning report" of our distributed computing effort that any manager with the appropriate access can look up if needed.
Tapping into several of the data aggregrators applications mentioned in the article, on a real time or near real time basis, would definitely improve business to customer and business to business response time among other things. With the promise of the new features that will be in SQL Server 2005 and the integration of this new capability, expect SQL Server 2005's market share of the database market to soar. It is now a distant third behind Oracle (about 40%) and IBM (about 34%) with about 14% market share. SQL Server 2000 was worth more than $1 1/2 B dollars to Microsoft last year.
