  Microsoft Roadmap for Mobile BI (as communicated on 2011)

  1. Ensuring our existing corporate BI web based solutions run in browsers across iOS and Windows devices in the first half of 2012.
  2. Delivering great touch-based data exploration and visualization capabilities in a browser on iOS, Android and Microsoft platforms in the second half of 2012.
  3. Delivering the best in class rich and immersive experience of the Microsoft BI platform on Windows 8 slates

  Mobile MSBI - Current Scenario (as on Feb 2013 )

  Before launching SQL Server 2012, Microsoft’s approach for Mobile BI has been focused on Microsoft SharePoint Server. Starting from SharePoint Server 2010, browser-based mobile access to corporate BI content has been provided through SharePoint. Sharepoint 2013 has more capabilities on the BI front and supports many more types of mobile devices.

  Starting with SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 (SP1), Reporting Services supports viewing and basic interactivity with reports on Microsoft Surface devices, and devices with Apple iOS 6 and Apple Safari browser such as the iPad.

Mobile device users can access a SharePoint site either by using a mobile browser or by using a rich client application such as Microsoft SharePoint Workspace Mobile 2010.
