ETL for Datawarehousing
ETL, which stands for extract, transform, and load, is the process we as developers use to extract data from different sources, transform the data into a usable and trusted resource, and load that data into the systems end-users can access and use downstream to solve business problems.
SQL Server Integration Services is a great tool which loads data from many sources to amalgamate into one main data warehouse database.
SQL Server Reporting Services, Power BI, Excel or Tableau are superb reporting tools to provide dashboards, reports and KPIs to show the results from your data warehouse once data has been loaded.
