SSRS - What is new in SQL Server 2016...

SQL Server 2016 is around the corner, there are lot of improvements/new features that are being deployed as part of SQL Server 2016. One of the areas where there have been improvements made is SSRS, this reporting tool has been overshadowed by Self service BI tools such as Power BI and other reporting tools. I would like to present the blog article from Matt Landis where he discusses about SSRS in SQL Server 2016.
