Description

Introduction

SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) are powerful tools for data integration and business intelligence. This training provides an in-depth understanding of how to use SSIS for data extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) and SSRS for designing, managing, and delivering interactive reports. Participants will learn best practices for building scalable data pipelines, automating workflows, and creating insightful reports to support business decision-making.

• SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services): A powerful ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) tool used to move, transform, and consolidate data from various sources to meet business needs.
• SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services): A comprehensive platform for creating, deploying, and managing rich, interactive reports. SSRS enables the creation of both static and dynamic reports, which can be delivered in various formats and accessed online or offline.

Pre-requisites for SQL Server with SSIS & SSRS:

1. Basic Understanding of Databases:
   • Familiarity with relational database concepts such as tables, primary/foreign keys, indexes, and joins is essential.
2. Knowledge of SQL:
   • A working knowledge of SQL (Structured Query Language), including the ability to write SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE queries, is recommended.
3. Experience with Windows OS:
   • As MS SQL Server and its tools are Windows-based, basic familiarity with the Windows operating system will help.
4. Familiarity with Basic Programming Concepts:
   • Though not mandatory, knowledge of basic programming logic (like loops, conditionals, and data structures) will be helpful when working with SSIS packages.
