Primarily for enterprise DW data movement from and to sources as well as between architectural layers of the EDW.  We also use it for batch operational integration between applications.  We integrate data from around 20 sources that include both direct connects to sources as well as variety of flat files/formats.  We also feed data to operational systems via flat files and populating external databases.   It's currently all operating 100% Azure IaaS with plans to migrate to SSIS-IR.

We use SSIS for data extraction, transformation, and loading processes. This includes extracting data from various sources like Oracle and SQL Server, and then transforming it for use in reporting tools like Power BI dashboards. While we haven't directly migrated data between databases using SSIS, we have used it extensively for ETL tasks, such as extracting data for analysis and reporting purposes.

We have a consolidated data warehouse. We use an SSIS tool as a pipeline to fetch the data from multiple sources such as Excel, CSV, Oracle database, or APIs. Further, we put the data into the SSIS database. We are using the solution for ETL purposes.

We're SSIS for flat file data ingestion. Our data sources are Excel files, but if the data sources are SQL servers, I use store procedures instead of SSIS packages.

Mostly we are receiving files in either XML or Excel and then we collect them in databases. Sometimes it's CSV and sometimes it is also Excel. Mostly, it is XML.

It was used for a couple of purposes, for example, we used it in our data warehouse when we wanted to create a dashboard that would give us an idea about, for example, the data itself. We had a client that would ask about a couple of requirements, like the past data from the last month or last year for a particular region for a particular client, and so on. I was using SSIS to store data incrementally and show the data using SSIS. For example, if we have created a couple of tasks or schedules, we would create a couple of packages and schedule them overnight. Every night it could fetch the data incrementally from the data warehouse. Every week, there was a requirement from the client that I need to add particular data to be changed and shared over email weekly. That particular data could be fetched from the data warehouse, and it will be shared with the client every week.

SSIS is helpful when you have tasks in a particular workflow that need to be completed on different schedules. You can start a specific task, and SSIS goes through the workflow to check a few things before it decides whether the task needs to proceed. Right now, maybe a quarter of the company is using it, but we plan to expand use in the future.

We use SSIS to integrate investment data we collect from different places into our portfolio management system. We get results out of portfolio management systems and integrate that into the downstream back-office, risk, and regulatory reporting systems. All the developers at my company use it.

Our company sells contracts when you buy a car. We sell aftermarket insurance for the tyre, wheel, ding, dent, windshield, etc. When somebody buys a contract, we capture all of that data into a legacy database PostgreSQL, and my task is to incorporate that into our financial platform using T-SQL. So, I write queries, procedures, and views. I use SSIS, and I use SSRS. My job is to get the data into our financial system so that we can process claims, payments, cancellations, and refunds.

We have used SSIS in many ways. Primarily, it has been used for building ETLs for populating data warehouse and staging areas. We have developed a number of data marts that were populated. We build data migration packages, which have been reused a number of times with minimal configurations. Additionally, we build complex data integrations solutions and data hand-offs between different applications. We have even used it for creating and parsing SWIFT messages for data integration purposes. We also used it for email triggers.

We are a software development company and implement solutions like SQL Server SSIS for our clients. We do not use this product ourselves in the company but have experience with it because our client asked for it. Our clients use it to transform data and generate reports. The use cases are generally simple, and not advanced or complex.

Movement of data and creation of files. ALl the typical things that you would have a ETL solution do. Data movements were in the millions and no calculations were completed. This means it was always a select * from where ever it was coming from and going to. Light translations like concatenation was being used.

SSIS is a versatile tool for data integration tasks like ETL processes, data migration, and real-time data processing. Users appreciate its ease of use, data transformation tools, scheduling capabilities, and extensive connectivity options. It enhances productivity and efficiency within organizations by streamlining data-related processes and improving data quality and consistency.
