Release Date for 2018 Report Server Update
We are targeting mid to late March for the next PBIRS release. As for features I don't have specific details but you should see a roll-up of several features that have been released for the service/desktop since Nov.
Hi mgmeyer,
Thanks for the update, it is most welcome.
Can I request that your team consider a more formal road map for RS releases in the future. We and many more are using the PBI RS to deliver some really innovative PBI + SSRS solutions within our organisations. My customers are really impressed with what we can do with the two products together, and as developers we are loving the power of DAX and the tabular data model combined with the great visuals in PBI. But due to data governance policy we have to be On-Prem and we feel a bit second class to those in the Cloud when it comes to updates and feedback.
Kind Regards
Rob
I really don't understand why there is such a lag in the release of new features. If they are developed for the cloud and individual user, why does it take so long to release for PBIRS? My company at this time can't move to the cloud due to our parent company policy. I also have contractors that work on different versions and trying to upload their dashboards to my report server is not working for us. I am wasting money paying a contractor for work and then having to redo all of them because they versions aren't compatible. Also explaining to my IT Director that PBIRS doesn't have the features we need or aren't the same as Power Bi Desktop is not an easy sale. We are paying for a product. We should have the lastest updates more than 2-3 times a year. I understand wanting to push the cloud based product but for those customers that can't migrate in that direction - you need to have a roadmap for us and more releases.
Any update on the release?
Also any update on the numerous requests for a roadmap and future releases being communicated more effectively?
