BI xPress: Real-Time Monitoring and Notifications for SSIS Packages

Free Trial                                          Buy

Want a better, faster way to manage Microsoft SSIS data packages?

Accurately managing data packages can consume significant time and resources from data teams, causing bottlenecks in efficient deployment:

  • Combing through error messages when data packages fail is time-consuming and often unproductive

  • Capturing errors often means developing custom-built event handlers, requiring additional resources

  • Troubleshooting data package performance in production can be difficult

 

If you manage a constantly changing data environment with continuous ETL processes, you need an efficient way to deploy, audit, and monitor SSIS data packages.

BI xPress accelerates SSIS data package management

 

BI xPress helps data pros efficiently manage SSIS data packages from development through production, ensuring speed and accuracy of data-centric apps:

  • Quickly build data packages and eliminate repetitive coding tasks

  • Ensure data packages run as expected and monitor their execution with an auditing framework

  • Use detailed reporting to monitor package performance and proactively take corrective action

 

BI xPress is essential for managing, auditing, and deploying SSIS data packages 

The Package Deployment Wizard in BI xPress gives users more options when deploying SSIS packages. Users can deploy multiple packages at once without having to deploy an entire project.
