SharePoint (and Project Server) Shenanigans

I am a Project Server and SharePoint consultant but my main focus currently is around Project Server. I have been working with Project Server for nearly five years since 2007 for a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner in the UK, I have also been awared with the Microsoft Community Contributor Award 2011. I am also a certified Prince2 Practitioner. This article has been cross posted from pwmather.wordpress.com (original article)

A quick blog post to highlight a new product that CPS have released. The product is called SharePoint ReportLink. Details for the product can be found below:

This product enables end users to easily create reports on SharePoint data using their favourite reporting technology without having to use the SharePoint web services. The product is an easily installable SharePoint solution (WSP file). Once the solution is installed, configuration is very simple too, users specify what lists and fields in those lists they wish to report on. The data is then available in real time in a specified reporting database. This enables users to create reports on SharePoint data using T-SQL to the custom reporting database rather having to use the SharePoint web services to access the data. This is particularly useful for Project Server programme level reports where you want to read data from multiple project sites in the one report.

Look out for a full blog post very soon where I will demo the configuration and usage to show you how powerful and simple to use this product is.
