Hi Everyone -

First of all, for those of you watching our web site, you might have
noticed a bit of confusion as to when we are meeting this month. This
was due to a scheduling conflict at the Microsoft Offices. However,
our very own Microsoft rep Mike McGeehan came through for us again
and reserved us a room for our usual day. So we will be meeting after
all this coming week on the 22nd.

The presentation will be from a new member of our group (Yes! Finally
one of you guys decided to speak up.) The details are below.

"Adventures in SQL Integration Services"
"Steve Gharibian will host an interactive demonstration where
together we will discover all the power within SQL Integration
Services ("SSIS") by working together to build a small datawarehouse.
Introduced with SQL Server 2005, and enhanced for 2008, SSIS is a
high-performance enterprise-class "Extract-Transform-Load" system
which puts this capability within reach of all SQL developers and
DBAs. See why it is an ideal platform for simply moving data up to
and including consolidating data for reporting, analysis and data-
mining.
"The audience will be involved to ensure an appropriate depth of
knowledge is kept. The resulting design from our work will touch on
ETL theory and SSIS design approaches that can work at many scales.
"Steve is one of the few MCITP's for BI on SQL 2005 and an MCSE since
1998. Currently he is a Business Intelligence designer for
Information Technology and Corporate Service users at a major
financial services firm here in NYC."
