Designed to increase functionality, save time, and eliminate common deployment issues. Our commitment to customer service and value, ensures these tools will return your investments in one day.

Some of the most common data source issues, and the costly demands on technical staff:
Accidentally deleted a shared data source: Delete a file or folder which contains a shared data source, that''s it- gone. Unless you manually check all content, there is no alert or warning a datasource will be deleted.

Call from user via help desk complaining report failed to run, often caused because the report is running against development or User Acceptance Testing not production data:
When developing and testing multiple reports it is easy to miss changing a data source when deploying multiple reports to server.
Load on server too great? Server down? Disaster recovery?
All very good reasons why you may need to move large numbers of reports to different data sources. Manually you risk items being missed, in addition to the time needed to change each individual report model, there are much better things to do with your time.
With SSRS Datasource Manager, this task can be undertaken in moments with minimal downtime, or technical staff involved.
You can find which reports are linked to a data source in Report Manager; however changes can only be made to each report or model, individually. Typically you are likely to have hundreds of reports on your server, which could take hours to complete.
SSRS Datasource Manager makes bulk changes in seconds.

End User: unproductive time wasted calling the help desk, awaiting escalation, awaiting fix, potentially deadlines missed.
Help desk: Call log, open ticket, monitor and sign off when issue resolved
Support person, takes call works through check list, escalate to Technical Support...
This brilliiant add-on simply save time, money, and frustration.
IT really is that simple
