Session 1: BI Foundations with SQL Server Integration Services, Christian Cote

BI solutions are all about providing the right information, to the right people, at the right time. SSIS is a powerful tool designed to address the challenge of unlocking the silos of data that exist within most organizations. Christian will introduce BI concepts, from data modeling to data warehouse implementation and will provide an overview of SQL Server Integration Services as an ETL toolkit.

Over 70% of the effort in a BI project implementation is spent on the ETL programming tasks. Christian will demonstrate how a good ETL framework is essential in any large BI project; share ETL and SSIS best practices; and provide insight into an ETL framework implementation that he architected with SSIS.
