deep-dive, interactive exploration of how to migrate applications and databases
to the cloud. The purpose of the event is for professionals in data management

PASS Summit 2017 - The Good and Bad News
The Good news
After seven (7) years of
submitting and attending PASS Summit, this was the first year that I was
selected as a presenter. It was a super awesometastic feeling (awesome + fantastic
- copyright pending) when I got the email and I think it left me in shock for
so long that I forgot to post it on
social media after PASS announced it on the summit site.
Right now I am supposed to be
somewhere up in the air heading to Seattle (my second home), however I am here
on the ground in Trinidad (my first home) thinking about how much this
situation sucks. Two weeks ago I found out that I had a medical condition that
could impact my trip and then based on how I felt the last few days, I decided to
not take the chance of flying in my condition and hence I gave up my first opportunity
to speak at the event.
The Good News part 2
The medical condition isn't going
to kill me and I should be recovering sometime this week. Once I recover I have
a list of events that I plan to be presenting at during November 2017 so
look out for that blog post next week.
I want to thank the PASS Members
and Teams - Directors, HQ members, committee members, volunteers and everyone
affiliated for everything they do to ensure that a PASS Summit occurs every
year and thank you for the opportunity to present at it this year. To the
attendees, my sincerest apologies for my last minute cancellation and
I will be able to make up for it next year (once I am lucky to be selected again).
Mobile Reporting Session Recap
Nigel Peter Sammy Friday, March 31, 2017 Mobile Reporting, Presentation, SQL Server 2016, SSRS No comments
I would like to
thank everyone who took the time to attend our 'Breakfast with Experts' event
earlier this week.
During the first
part of the event – Mobile Reporting, attendees were able to learn about the
new and improved features of Reporting Services 2016 and how it can be used
with Power BI for either cloud or on-premises environments. I also conducted a
live demo showcasing Microsoft SQL Server Mobile Report Publisher and how it
can be used to build sample reports with two data sets for a tablet and mobile
phone. Attendees were then able to view sample reports via my Windows Phone
Power BI application to get a clear idea of the end-user mobile experience.

Professional Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Reporting Services and Mobile Reports.

Professional Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Reporting Services and Mobile Reports
Nigel Peter Sammy Thursday, March 30, 2017 Business Intelligence, Mobile Reporting, Publication, SQL Server 2016, SSRS No comments
A few weeks ago,
Wrox Publishers released their book entitled Professional Microsoft SQL Server 2016 Reporting Services and Mobile Reports written by Paul Turley (B|T), an
independent BI consultant and trainer, owner of Intelligent Business LLC and
Mentor for SolidQ.
Paul asked me to be the technical editor for this book based on our previous collaboration for the 2012 version. I know that he took a lot of time and effort to ensure that this book delivered useful and relevant information for anyone looking to upgrade or leverage Reporting Services 2016 in their production environment.
Reviewing twenty-two (22) chapters while dealing with changes from SQL Server 2016 RC3 to RTM was definitely a challenge but it was also a great learning experience. I am greatly appreciative of this opportunity that Paul and Wrox has given me and I look forward to future collaborations with them.
