The purpose of this 2-day instructor-led course is to teach
Business Intelligence (BI) professionals working in enterprise
environments to design an extract, transform, and load (ETL)
solution that supports their BI solution. Students will learn
how to plan an ETL solution, and specifically how to design and
implement a SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) based ETL
solution. They will also learn how to monitor, optimize, and
deploy an SSIS solution.
The course focuses on the planning and design aspects of an ETL
solution and does not teach students how to create SSIS packages
or how to use the development tools provided with SQL Server
2005.
