Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools – Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012–with Analysis Services, Reporting Services and Integration Services projects support

Microsoft has released SQL Server Data Tools and Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 with integrated support for Visual Studio 2012.  When Microsoft released SQL Server 2012,  Data Tools and Business intelligence released with bundled support for Visual Studio 2010 IDE, and this release is a good news for Visual studio 2012 developers. 

Now with this release developers will be able to Visual Studio 2012 for SQL Server Database Business Intelligence related projects using Analysis Services, Reporting Services and Integration Services.

[Quoting from MSDN]

SQL Server Data Tools – Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 includes business intelligence project authoring tools and project templates for SQL Server Analysis Services, Reporting Services, and Integration Services integrated into a Visual Studio 2012 shell.

You can install SQL Server Data Tools – Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 as a standalone business intelligence authoring environment or side-by-side with an existing SQL Server Data Tools installed with SQL Server 2012.

SQL Server Data Tools – Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2012 uses SQL Server 2012 Setup to install the SQL Server Data Tools – Business Intelligence environment as a shared feature. If you are used to SQL Server Setup, this process will seem familiar to you; however, if you have never run SQL Server Setup to install additional SQL Server features before, this may seem a little confusing.
