From the Back Cover
When SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) was released to the market in SQL Server 2005, it took the Extract Transform Load (ETL) market by storm. Three years later, SQL Server 2008 has introduced an even more mature rendition of SSIS that is focused on improving the scalability and performance of SQL Server and also serves as a very powerful tool for performing ETL operations, which are central to data warehousing.
With this book, an assembled team of professionals has combined their years of experience and tried–and–true best practices to present you with the tools to take your SSIS skill set to a new level. After a basic review of the fundamental concepts of SSIS, you′ll move on to more in–depth topics such as extending the engine, synchronizing systems incrementally, managing the SSIS platform, and more. Plus, helpful examples and real–world case studies demonstrate advanced concepts and techniques. Once you get past the initial learning curve of the 2008 version of SSIS, you′ll be amazed by the power, effectiveness, and timesaving ability of SSIS—all of which are aimed at making your life easier.

If you have any questions about using SSIS buy this book, you won't be disappointed.
Being a Sql Server BI consultant I have come across many opportunities that SSIS either solves or is part of the overall solution.
Therefore I have a need to be as profecient as possible in SSIS. This book is my bible for SSIS reference and problem solving.
In my opinion there is not a better book available today, that will not only help get you started in SSIS, but enable you to become a very effecient SSIS Guru.
This book walks you through the entire SSIS solution process. Package creation, Control Flow, Data Flow, Warehouse population stratagies, package tuning, etc. (You get the picture)
One of the issues I come across routinely is data scrubbing, i.e cleaning your input data. This is a difficult task for even a skilled practitioner.
There is a very good chapter in this book on the scripting task in SSIS which is where most of your data cleansing will take place, if needed.
This book will save you hours if not days of research in trying to solve all those issues you typically encounter when taking data from one platform or store to another entirely different
Data store and/or platform.
Well worth the price!
I knew SSIS was the tool I needed to do the ETL but was not sure where to start. This is where this book has proved to be invaluable. Chapter 10 immediately gave me specific examples and best practices on how to load my data warehouse. After seeing the big picture, I was then able go back to the earlier chapters and learn the "heavy lifting" tasks such a creating the control and data flows.
I highly recommend this book to anyone involved in loading a data warehouse. The time you spend learning how to do it right way will definitely pay off in the end.
The examples in this book really opened my eyes to the 'outside the box' uses for SSIS that I had not thought of.
The chapter on data warehousing is a great resource and is a reference I keep close by. There is also a great chapter on error and event handling. This is a very important component to ETL systems, but one I wasn't handling very well.
This book is a great addition to my reference library. I highly recommend this to anyone involved in ETL processing.
