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

ABOUT Watford

Watford is a town situated 17 miles distant from central London. It is inside the perimeter of the M25 motorway. Most of the people are perplexed with Watford, Northamptonshire. This town is located 55 miles to the north. This city is situated on the river Colne. Tourists enjoy the scenery of this place. With the high number of people visiting Berkhamsted Castle, Kings Langley (a royal palace), it further boosts the growth of the town. The Trio, The London, The Birmingham Railway and The great Canal junction further accelerate the growth of the town.

Until the period of 16th century, this land belonged to St Albans Abbey. The printing work started by John Dickinson and co. influenced other companies too. Printing turns out to be the biggest industry in Watford in 1920s. This industry is also doing well nowadays. The major events such as 2013 Bilderberg Conference and World Golf Championship was hosted by The Grove. It was transformed from urban district to municipal borough in 1922. Watford is the Centre of several head offices too. Watford was addressed by the name of major sub-regional Centre by the Hertfordshire County Council.

History

As far as the name of the city is concerned, it was first mentioned in the Anglo- Saxon era of 1007. Earlier it was an agricultural community where most of the people depended upon it. A few people involved in the Cottage industry but with the industrial revolution, the Grand Junction Canal and the London and Birmingham Railway were constructed to reach the Chiltern Hills easily. The printing press of Watford is recognised as the best in the world. It is also the biggest Centre in the same field. The use of the printing machine was very popular during the world war where it had been used to create Propaganda. At that time the authority was taken over by the Government. It was as usual that industry got declined at that time.  In the beginning of 20th century, the pace of the development continues to enhance.
