SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) is a component of the Microsoft SQL Server database software that provides data integration and workflow automation capabilities. It is used to extract, transform, and load data (ETL) between various sources such as databases, flat files, and cloud services.
With SSIS, organizations can design and execute data migration, data integration, and data processing tasks.
