SSRS developers seem to be more requested now.

Never heard of Actuate, so I would guess no 🙂
Or do both. It can't hurt to be able to work with more than one BI environment.
(for example, I know Cognos as well)

Sorry to jump in but a quick question.
Koen: What is your opinion on Cognos Express? I have a friend who is currently working on a project to install a new reporting platform Cognos being one of the choices (the others at present are SSRS and Business Objects) and I am not in a position to advise my experience is with SSRS?

hi
i am going to a new company, wherein i need to work on actuate.. previously i was working with Business objects later came to SSRS. Now is it good for me to work with actuate..
I am little confused.. as per me concepts in all reporting tools are same.. but the syntax and way of designing differs.
I am afraid of job market, do actuate professionals gets job easily?

Hmmm, to be honest, I haven't used the Express version before, but only the Cognos 8 BI suite (Report Studio, Analysis Studio, Framework Manager).
It's better in ad-hoc reporting than SSRS, but I wasn't really blown away with the performance. Cognos is also less WYSIWYG than SSRS.
Cognos has also a better metadataframework (like the Universe in BO), but I don't know if this is also the case in Cognos Express.

I would go for it.
Just keep your BO and SSRS skills fresh. A diverse resume isn't really bad to have.
(but be careful no to be "junior" in everything, but have at least some significant experience in 1 or 2 of those tools)
