I am honored to deliver two training sessions at the PASS Data Community Summit 2022:

A Day of Azure Data Factory is a full-day pre-conference session scheduled for Monday, 14 Nov 2022. In this session I cover version control integration, copying data, using parameters and metadata, design patterns (of course!), and more!
Introduction to Azure Data Factory is a 75-minute presentation exploring the ADF web GUI, Azure-SSIS integration runtime, and designing a basic pipeline.

You may notice a pattern…

I hope to see you at the PASS Data Community Summit 2022! If you read this blog, find me and introduce yourself. I’m the old guy with a braided beard!

More of my work these days is Azure Data Factory consulting and training. Do I still work with SSIS? Goodness yes! A lot of enterprises use SSIS for data integration and I expect that to continue.

Much of my ADF consulting work overlaps with SSIS in some fashion or another. Many shops are migrating SSIS to the cloud, using Azure-SSIS integration runtimes in Azure Data Factory or Azure Synapse Analytics (in preview at the time of this writing).
