[!INCLUDE sqlserver-ssis]
SQL Server [!INCLUDE ssISnoversion] is a platform for building enterprise-level data integration and data transformations solutions. Use [!INCLUDE ssISnoversion] to solve complex business problems. For example:
- Copy or download files
- Load data warehouses
- Cleanse and mine data
- Manage [!INCLUDE ssNoVersion] objects and data
[!INCLUDE ssISnoversion] can extract and transform data from a wide variety of sources such as XML data files, flat files, and relational data sources, and then load the data into one or more destinations.
[!INCLUDE ssISnoversion] includes:
- A rich set of built-in tasks and transformations.
- Graphical tools for building packages.
- An SSIS Catalog database to store, run, and manage packages.
You can use the graphical [!INCLUDE ssISnoversion] tools to create solutions without writing a single line of code. You can also program the extensive [!INCLUDE ssISnoversion] object model to create packages programmatically and code custom tasks and other package objects.
You can start by installing SQL Server Integration Services, which is part of SQL Server setup.
