SSRS provides a full range of ready-to-use tools and services to help you create, deploy, and manage reports for your application. its programming feature enable you to extend and customize the reporting functionality. It is server based reporting platform. Report Builder is a strong tool provided in SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services.
