Reporting Services Information Worker InfoCenter

Information workers create reports for personal use and perhaps for other people in an organization. Information workers are typically not data processing professionals, but rather, hold other positions in an organization that require access to information and the ability to retrieve and report on that information. An information worker is familiar with the kinds of data maintained by an organization and seeks to use this data to support other job functions.

Often, an information worker runs reports to analyze data and identify opportunities, problems, or project characteristics. Information workers might also collect and distribute information on organizational processes and resources. Job titles that map to the Reporting Services information worker role include Sales Manager, Executive Assistant, or Project Manager, to name a few.
