SSIS/BIML Shootout

Abstract:

I hear you saying Biml isn’t a good fit for you. First, let’s look at your packages to find out if every package is truly different from every other package. We’ll visit three example packages provided by the user group and see if there is a pattern. We’ll then look at the Biml solution compared to the manual SSIS solution. By the end of the session, I hope to help each attendee spot the patterns in their own packages, and learn to work a little smarter.

Bio:

For over 15 years Shannon Lowder has been spotting patterns, and learning ways to work smarter instead of harder. He started with development, and moved into database administration. Using TSQL, Database Jobs and PowerShell, he automated himself out of contracts quickly. As Business Intelligence became a greater demand, he moved into SSIS, SSRS, and SSAS development. Early on, he tried using PowerShell and .Net to automate BI Development. After founding a startup six years ago, he finds himself a data platform consultant, designing and guiding other professionals to build highly automated enterprise solutions.
