| Sumario: | Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) processes have become a necessity in IT today. Being able to move data from one place to another has become a cornerstone in just about every company worldwide. SQL Server provides Integration Services (SSIS) that allow database administrators (DBAs) and Developers alike to create and deploy advanced ETL packages to leverage the data within their organizations. Whether a company has one-time data copy or large ETL process to design, they want to be able to complete their work as easily as possible. With SSIS now being included with the SQL Server platform, it is one of the easiest and most cost effective methods available to a shop running SQL Server. IT shops can have hundreds of software developers, all running and developing applications for SQL Server. In addition, hundreds of 3rd party applications run SQL Server for storage. All of this data, sooner or later, will require that companies be able to consolidate and analyze it. Familiarity with an ETL tool will become an absolute necessity when data needs to be moved for consolidation, reporting, and data mining. Introduction to SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) LiveLessons covers the basic building blocks of SSIS. Topics will include basic design, understand control flows, using data flows, and deployment and scheduling of packages. SSIS is a complex tool with a lot of moving parts and whether you need the entire package to go from zero to an ETL developer, or just a handful of videos on tasks they are unfamiliar with, having a concise resource available is invaluable to IT professionals.
