SQL Server’s presence at Convergence represents how Dynamics is committed to enabling their customers to improve business insight through the SQL Server BI platform. In addition to providing information about SQL Server 2005 and its BI technologies, the team announced several new and updated Report Packs to help customers quickly design and deploy reports.
Based on the successful release of SQL Server 2000 Report Packs (more than 147,000 downloaded), the team has released six updated and three new Report Packs for SQL Server 2005.
