Chapter 1. Welcome to SQL Server Integration Services
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) is one of the most powerful features in SQL Server 2005. It is technically classified as a business intelligence feature and is a robust way to load data and perform tasks in a workflow. Even though it's mainly used for data loads, you can use it to do other tasks in a workflow like executing a program or a script, or it can be extended. This chapter describes much of the architecture of SSIS and covers the basics of tasks.
