San Francisco (InfoWorld) - Microsoft is bolstering BI and reporting features in both the existing SQL Server 2000 database and the planned SQL Server 2005 release.

The company has been focused on improving BI in SQL Server for the past few years. Tuesday’s announcements link applications such as Exchange and CRM to the company’s BI fray.

Available now for free, SQL Server Report Packs for Exchange Server and CRM enhance the SQL Server 2000 Reporting Services function by providing templates of commonly used reports for users to modify for their own custom reports, according to Microsoft. These particular templates would supplement the Microsoft Exchange Server and Microsoft CRM 1.2 systems. Reports that be developed include one that would gauge who has the largest Exchange e-mail folder or who is sending and receiving the largest set of e-mail.
