• Continue to expand, grow and enhance demo based on customer
and field feedback
• Currently available on App Hub as “Microsoft Cloud BI Sample

• You can use this App to render your own SQL Azure
Reporting Services Reports
– Click menu bar: Select Set Server
– Enter your SQL Azure Reporting Services full server name,
without https://
– Go to menu bar: Select each Report # menu item
– Enter the name of your report file, without the .rdl extension
• Default login for demo out of the box

5. V2.0 Updates
V2 Themes:
1. Move default server to new
Windows Azure server

the KPI tracker to appear
on your WP7 start page.

intelligence

9. Because reports and KPIs
are from SQL Azure and
SQL Azure Reporting
Services, users can
modify the content and
reports.
This is not a static
mock-up. This is real,
live data and reporting.

10. Use SQL Azure and SQL
Azure Reporting Services
to create new data, new
reports and modify source
to demonstrate to
customers the dynamic
data.
No need to modify the
App.

Sparklines, Maps, drill-
down, drill-thru,
expand/collapse, etc.

top-line KPI value when you
add App to home screen
