SSIS is a short form of 'SQL Server Integration Services'. It is one of the significant components of Microsoft SQL Server and was initially introduced with SQL Server 2005. SQL Server 2005 is said to be the next generation of SQL Server program after SQL Server 2000, and it replaced the DTS (Data Transformation Services) in SQL Server 2000.
* SSIS is very beneficial for accomplishing a wide variety of data transformation, data integration, and data migration jobs.
* SSIS is also known as an ETL tool mainly used to handle tasks related to data extraction, data transformation, and load operations.
* Additionally, SSIS also enables developers to use it for tasks other than ETL, such as data profiling, file system manipulation, etc. Apart from this, we can perform powerful batch operations in SSIS with the support of programming languages like C#.net or VB.net.
* Most companies use SSIS to store and manage their data in warehouses, and further extract and load it whenever required.
