Retire SSRS knowing what still depends on it.

The report server has run quietly for years, and nobody wants to be the one who switches it off. Reperta shows what each report reads, what relies on it and what is no longer used.

Sound familiar?

"Nobody knows who uses half of these."
Reports, scheduled emails and Excel exports have piled up for years. The people who built them have moved on.
"Last time we turned one off, the phone rang."
A report that looked dead was quietly feeding a finance workbook. Nobody found out until quarter end.
"We cannot get a switch-off date signed."
Without evidence of what depends on the server, nobody will put their name to turning it off.

How Reperta helps

1
See what each report relies on
Reperta reads every report in scope and shows what it draws on and what relies on it.
2
Separate the dead from the critical
Copies, stale reports and single-owner reports are flagged, so you retire the easy ones first.
3
Sign off the switch-off
Owners record a decision on each report. Anything still unconfirmed is listed to check before the date.

Every dependency, with its evidence. Which reports feed which, and how sure each link is, so the switch-off list is complete.

Northwind: what still relies on the server

Northwind Group has 5 SSRS reports alongside 34 Excel workbooks and 5 SQL scripts. GL Extract FY26.xlsx turned out to be referenced by 9 reports, and 21 of 53 traced connections were confirmed. The rest became the checklist before switch-off.

Questions

Will scanning affect the report server?

Discovery is read-only. Any changes are a separate step that your team reviews and approves.

Can you guarantee nothing breaks when we switch off?

Reperta shows everything it found relying on the server and lists anything it could not confirm, so your team checks those before the date rather than after it.

What about workbooks that rely on SSRS?

Spreadsheets, SharePoint and your databases are covered in the same scan, so links from the report server into workbooks appear in one view.
