Hello Gurus,

I have a basic question for you. It's more of asking for a recommendation than a question. Our organization is planning to build a data warehouse using SQL 2008. We use SQL reporting services to develop a lot of key reports which will be subscribed by several users. On top of it, the management wants to have a front-end tool which will enable some of the managers to build reports of their own. What tools would you recommend us to use? Is there anything in-build within SQL 2008 BI suite that can accomplish it?

Also, if we chose a tool, how to go about it? Do the users need access to the cubes to get data from that?

I apologize for the novice questions, but your suggestions are highly appreciated.
