Future Proof your SQL Server Data Warehouse Processes – Sept 12, 2011
Future Proof your SQL Server Data Warehouse Processes
The role of Data Warehouses is growing to deliver more data, to more people, on a more frequent basis. This puts greater demands on the reliability and timeliness of data that’s being presented, as well as being able to quickly adapt to answer new business questions. SQL Server Integration Services provides a speedy mechanism to deliver information to business users, but presents the BI development team with a couple of soul-searching questions of how the ETL should be designed to ensure that the system “just works” on an ongoing basis. The session will explore some of the key questions on the design and organisation of your SSIS packages including: • How do we quickly deploy builds to the warehouse without a big configuration overhead? • How do we adapt to timing issues with data availability without pushing out the entire processing schedule? • How do we prove the data is right with each refresh and anticipate issues before they are raised by a business user? • How do we quickly diagnose data persistence issues that will inevitably arise? • How do avoid inconsistent ETL development controls developed with each project phase?
