Explore SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) in SQL Server 2008
During this 4-day course, you will learn the ins and outs of SSIS and how to apply its enterprise functionality to data warehouse ETL systems and general data integration requirements. At the completion this course, you will understand how to design, develop, deploy, and operate SSIS solutions from source systems extractions, to data integration and transformation, to business intelligence system loading including how to processing SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) cubes.
This class incorporates a team-based case study. The case study provides the students with a real world scenario via a set of requirements. The team must design and implement their solution based on the requirements. This gives the students the ability to exercise the skills they learned during the class in a real world situation.
Prerequisites:
Before attending this course, students must have:
• Exposure to enterprise data import and export scenarios.
• Experience navigating the Microsoft Windows Server environment.
• Exposure to Visual Studio.
