You can create new SQL Server Reporting Services reports by using the SQL Server
Reporting Services Report Builder. The SSRS Report Builder provides you with
access to the IT Analytics Cubes that let you create the customized reports that
you can distribute.
Report Builder is a client-side application that you can use to create and design
reports. Using Report Builder, you can design the reports that are based on your
