About the Course

Overview


SQL Server Integration Services is the equivalent of the retired MOC Course 20767CC - Implementing a

SQL Data Warehouse. This five-day instructor-led course is intended for IT professionals who need to

learn how to use SSIS to build, deploy, maintain, and secure Integration Services projects and packages,

and to use SSIS to extract, transform, and load data to and from SQL Server. This course is similar to the

retired Course 20767-C: Implementing a SQL Data Warehouse but focuses more on building packages,

rather than the entire data warehouse design and implementation.


About This Course


This five-day instructor-led course is intended for IT professionals who need to learn how to use SSIS to
