6. Reporting Services (SSRS) in SQL Server 2012
Reporting Services (SSRS) in SQL Server 2012 has been upgraded with new features and capabilities:
Empower users with a new visual design experience named Power View
Increase productivity with user-defined data alerts
Increase performance and improve administration within SharePoint

(CONTINUED)
When Reporting Services is integrated
File types are understood
Context menus to manage reports, configure alerts, etc. are available
BISM Connection File content type is installed
Stores connection information to a tabular BI Semantic Model (published PowerPivot workbook or tabular database)
Users can launch Power View from this document
It can also be used in a connection string to access the model

9. Power View
Power View is an interactive data exploration, visualization, and presentation experience
Highly visual design experience
Rich meta-driven interactivity
Presentation-ready at all times
Provides intuitive ad-hoc reporting for business users such as data analysts, business decision makers, and information workers
