Early bird registration is now open for Linchpin People’s SSIS training course From Zero To SSIS scheduled for 15-19 Oct 2012 in Reston Virginia!
Register today – the early bird discount ends 28 Sep 2012.
Training Description
From Zero to SSIS was developed by Andy Leonard to train technology professionals in the fine art of using SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) to build data integration and Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) solutions.
The training is focused around labs and emphasizes a hands-on approach. Most technologists learn by doing; this training is designed to maximize the time attendees spend working with SSIS.
Students must supply a laptop or other computing device configured with an instance of SQL Server 2008, 2008 R2, or 2012 and Integration Services.
Target Audience
The target audience for this training is database professionals, application developers, and business intelligence practitioners interested in acquiring or expanding their existing SSIS skill set.
Prerequisites
No experience with SQL Server or SQL Server Integration Services is required before attending this training.
It is helpful (but not required) that students possess some knowledge of and experience with relational databases. SQL Server knowledge / experience will be more helpful than experience with other technologies.
Training Objectives
At the conclusion of the training, attendees will have been exposed to:
– Using SSIS to develop data integration solutions.
– Using SSIS to load a data warehouse dimension.
– Troubleshooting real-world SSIS Data Flow Task errors.
– Deploying SSIS Solutions.
– Managing, monitoring, and administering SSIS in the enterprise.
