Reporting Integration Lab
April 2010
Lab Overview

There are many web applications built with PHP that need to include Business Intelligence and Reporting features.  Such features can be built from scratch or leverage external components providing out of the box features.

The Reporting Integration lab uses a basic sample to demonstrate how to use Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services to add reporting features to the SugarCRM Community Edition application. The lab covers the initial steps to achieve such integration leveraging the SQL Server Reporting Services Software Development Kit (SDK) for PHP.

The Reporting Integration lab uses a basic sample to demonstrate how to use Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services to add reporting features to existing PHP applications. The lab covers the initial steps to achieve such integration leveraging the SQL Server Reporting Services Software Development Kit (SDK) for PHP.

In this particular scenario, this lab uses the popular SugarCRM Community Edition, a web based Customer Relationship Management system, to demonstrate how to combine SQL Server Reporting Services with third party software.

These scenarios teach how to build additional reporting capabilities inside the SurgarCRM Community Edition while offering the end-users more business intelligence tools right inside the SugarCRM Community Edition dashboard.

Note that this lab is for educational purpose about the potential possibilities and does not demonstrate a final solution that is ready for production use.
