I am struggling to understand the positioning of Report Models and Microsofts future roadmap for Report Models. Questions I have are:Do Report Models have a future and what is the roadmap?Relationship between Report Models and SharePoint Business Data Catalogue?Relationship and Importance of Report Models with PowerPivot for SharePoint?If Report Models are to be terminated then what method is there for exposing a user friendly Self Service Query Builder and Reporting environment?To answer your question we don't use them yet but I think they have a place, I would go as far as to say I think they are brilliant. We want to use them on top of the Data Warehouse built on SqlServer. Improvents I had a couple but can't remember right now, just keep developing the design side of the report model allow more flexibility. - Anonymous
