Migrate with Confidence: Australia's SSRS to Power BI Specialists
Microsoft has folded SSRS into Power BI Report Server from SQL Server 2025, making SSRS 2022 the last standalone release - the writing is on the wall for on-premise SQL Server Reporting Services. Report Simple is Australia's specialist SSRS to Power BI migration partner. We start by inventorying and classifying your entire report estate, then retire the 20 to 30 percent of reports nobody actually runs before migrating the rest in managed waves. Paginated and interactive reports both move across, validated against the originals, so your business keeps reporting while the platform changes underneath it.
Retire Dead Reports
Our assessment classifies your whole estate by real usage, so you retire the 20 to 30 percent of reports nobody runs before migrating and never pay to move dead weight.
Microsoft-Backed Path
You move in the direction Microsoft is taking SSRS, onto Power BI Report Server and the Power BI Service, so your reporting platform has a long-term future instead of a maintenance dead-end.
Keep Paginated Reports
Pixel-perfect RDL invoices, statements and regulatory documents migrate to Power BI paginated reports with layouts, parameters and subscriptions preserved and validated against the originals.
No Reporting Blackout
We migrate in validated waves and run the new reports in parallel before cutover, so your business keeps reporting throughout and the legacy server is only switched off once everything is proven.
Upgrade, Not Relocate
Static SSRS reports become interactive Power BI dashboards with drilldown and a proper data model, so migration upgrades your reporting rather than simply relocating it to a new platform.
Our SSRS to Power BI Migration Services
SSRS Estate Assessment & Classification
Start with a full inventory, not a guess. We catalogue every report across your SSRS and Power BI Report Server instances, classify each by type, complexity and actual usage, and flag the 20 to 30 percent that are unused or duplicated. You receive a fixed-fee assessment with a clear migration roadmap, effort estimate and wave plan, so you migrate what matters and retire the rest before spending a dollar moving dead reports.
Paginated (RDL) Report Migration
Move your pixel-perfect reports without losing fidelity. Paginated RDL reports - invoices, statements and regulatory documents - migrate to Power BI paginated reports, preserving layouts, parameters and subscriptions. We rebuild data sources against your modern platform, validate output against the originals, and reinstate scheduled delivery so finance and operations never miss a run. The formatted reports your business depends on keep working, now on a supported platform.
Interactive Report & Dashboard Rebuild
Turn static SSRS reports into something people actually explore. Where SSRS only ever offered a fixed view, we rebuild interactive reports as modern Power BI dashboards with drilldown, filtering and a proper data model behind them. Users move from exporting to Excel to answering their own questions on screen. Migration becomes the moment your reporting gets genuinely better, not just relocated to a newer server.
Data Source & Subscription Migration
Reconnect everything that made the old reports run. We migrate the data sources, shared datasets, parameters and subscription schedules behind your estate, repointing them at your modern platform and resolving the dependencies that quietly break a migration. Email and file-share subscriptions are reinstated so automated delivery continues. Nothing your users rely on is left stranded on the retiring server.
Validation, Cutover & Decommission
Land the migration with confidence, then switch the old server off. We validate every migrated report side by side with its SSRS original, run a parallel period so the business trusts the new output, then cut over and decommission the legacy estate at the right moment. You exit unsupported SSRS cleanly, with reporting proven on a modern platform and no lingering on-premise risk.

Our Proven SSRS to Power BI Migration Process
Our senior specialists inventory your estate, migrate in validated waves, and retire SSRS without a reporting blackout.
1
Estate Inventory & Roadmap
We inventory every report across your SSRS and Power BI Report Server instances, classifying each by type, complexity and real usage. The unused 20 to 30 percent are flagged for retirement rather than migration. You receive a fixed-fee assessment with a prioritised wave plan, effort estimates and a clear budget before any reports move.
Wave Migration & Validation
2
We migrate in waves, starting with a representative pilot, rebuilding data sources, paginated reports and interactive dashboards on your modern platform. Each report is validated against its SSRS original and run in parallel, so accuracy is proven before anyone relies on it. Subscriptions and scheduled delivery are reinstated as we go.
Cutover & Decommission
3
Once every wave is validated and signed off, we cut over to the new platform and decommission the legacy SSRS estate at the optimal point. Your team receives handover and documentation, and we remain available to optimise performance and extend reporting. You leave unsupported infrastructure behind with reporting fully proven.

SSRS to Power BI Migration FAQs
How much does an SSRS to Power BI migration cost?
We quote every SSRS migration as a fixed price after a short estate assessment, rather than charging open-ended day rates. The cost depends mainly on the size of your report estate and how many unused reports you retire before migrating. Specialist Australian consultants sit around $200 to $250 or more per hour for ad-hoc work, but defined migrations are always fixed-price.
For how we structure pricing, see our Power BI pricing page.
Is SSRS being discontinued?
SSRS is not dead overnight, but it is clearly end-of-road: Microsoft has consolidated SQL Server Reporting Services into Power BI Report Server from SQL Server 2025, making SSRS 2022 the last standalone version. Existing SSRS instances keep running under their support lifecycle, but there is no future investment in standalone SSRS. Treating the move to Power BI as planned rather than forced lets you modernise reporting on your timeline instead of under pressure later.
Can paginated RDL reports move to Power BI?
Yes - paginated RDL reports migrate to Power BI paginated reports, which are built for exactly the pixel-perfect, print-ready output SSRS specialised in. Invoices, statements and regulatory documents keep their layouts, parameters and scheduled delivery. We rebuild the data sources, validate output against the originals, and reinstate subscriptions, so the formatted reports your business runs on continue without interruption on a supported platform.
We use Power BI Report Server - does this apply to us?
Yes - Power BI Report Server clients are squarely in scope, since it shares SSRS's on-premise model and the same consolidation direction. We migrate Report Server estates to the Power BI Service or Microsoft Fabric, modernising both your paginated and interactive reporting and removing the on-premise maintenance burden. If you are weighing staying on Report Server versus moving to the cloud, our assessment lays out the trade-offs for your specific estate.
Pairing the move with Fabric is common - see our Power BI to Fabric migration page.
What is the best replacement for SSRS?
For the vast majority of organisations the natural SSRS replacement is Power BI, which now covers both the paginated reporting SSRS was known for and the interactive dashboards it never offered. You get one modern platform for formatted reports and self-service analytics, on a governed data foundation. Migration is also the ideal moment to fix the slow, fragile reporting that built up over years on SSRS.
If your migrated reports run slowly, our Power BI performance optimisation work tunes them.
