What will be in this blog

Hi!

My name is Anton Kravtsov and I am Project Server 2010 / 2013 architect. I am co-founder of FluentPro, a company that develops products for Project Server. I am working with Project Server several years, and very deeply involved in report design and development (we designed and developed over 400 reports adn dashboards for our clients during Project Server implementation projects).

Current offering of BI / Reporting products from Microsoft for Project Server is pretty wide, but same time it requires high competence. These products are:
- Excel Services
- SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services)
- Performance Point

FluentPro has a product for self-service data visualization called EPM Pulse ( http://www.fluentpro.com/productsepmpulse.html ). EPM Pulse is visual dashboard builder that allows to design dashboards using pre-built building blocks (we call them widgets).

In this blog, I will share our experience using all reporting technologies and products from Microsoft  and also will provide overview of some data visualization features of EPM Pulse.
