What is SQL Server Integration Services ?

SQL Server Integration Services abbreviated as SSIS is a data loading tool that can be used to copy and transform data from one location to another. SSIS is a very powerful and flexible tool that can be used for many different purposes. Its main purpose is to load data into databases, or to transfer it from one data source to another. Here we use SQL Server database and tables as targets. It can also extract, transform and load data from other sources such as flat files (CSV files, Excel files, etc), but also different database vendors using specific connectors, like Oracle, Salesforce or SAP HANA for example.

It can also be used for tasks such as backing up data, copying data from one database to another or archiving logs. Technically, it is a feature of SQL Server that helps automate the process of moving data from one system to another.
