DIMIYA Talent

We are seeking experienced Microsoft SSRS Developers for an immediate 3-month project focused on migrating an existing suite of Crystal Reports to Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS).

The project consists of approximately 6 core report designs with multiple variations, potentially representing around 60 reports in total.

This is primarily a migration rather than redesign project. The successful developers will establish reusable SSRS templates that closely replicate the existing Crystal Reports and use these templates to efficiently migrate report variations.

There is potential for one resource to continue beyond the initial 3-month engagement.

Please note: This position requires alignment with Melbourne, Australia business hours
