Implementing a Data Warehouse with Microsoft SQL Server (M20463)

Configure data warehouse using SQL Server

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

The course provides the essential knowledge to implement a data warehouse platform to support a business intelligence solution. The 5-day course covers the crucial capabilities across the SQL Server data platform and discusses new components of SQL Server 2014. During the course, the delegates will learn how to create a data warehouse, extract and transform data, configure SQL Server Integration Services and deploy SQL Server Master Data Services and Data Quality Services.

The course is specifically designed for database administrators and professionals who are responsible for creating and supporting data warehousing solution within an organization. The course teaches delegates to support incremental data extraction and data loading by implementing extracting, transforming and loading (ETL) process.  After the completion of the course, the delegates will be able to create business intelligence solutions, implement data warehouse and data cleansing and validating effectively.

  • Deploy and Configure SSIS packages effectively

  • Enforce data integrity using SQL Server Data Quality Services

  • Managing consistency by implementing ETL solutions

  • Manage and monitor the execution of deployed packages

  • Courses led by highly certified and well experienced Microsoft Server Instructors
