TechEd is my favorite Microsoft event – the size of the conference, and the number of sessions you can choose from always amazes me. I’m honored to have been selected to present once again. This year I’ll be doing three sessions:

Enterprise Information Management (EIM): Bringing Together SSIS, DQS, and MDS
DBI310 | Advanced – 300 | Monday, June 11 @ 4:45 PM

Enterprise Information Management (EIM) is an industry term for managing your data for data integration, quality, and governance, and is an important part of the Microsoft SQL Server 2012 release. This session revolves around a demo which brings together our EIM functionality in SQL Server 2012 and which tells our Credible, Consistent Data story. We show you how SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), Data Quality Services (DQS), Master Data Services (MDS) and other Microsoft technologies work together to provide a comprehensive EIM solution.

Incremental ETL Using CDC for SQL and Oracle with SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) 2012
DBI322 | Advanced – 300 | Tuesday, June 12 @ 10:15 AM

Exploring real-world customer scenarios, we take a look at how the new Change Data Capture (CDC) components for SSIS in Microsoft SQL Server 2012 simplify incremental ETL and Data Warehouse loads. We demo the new functionality in SSIS, and show off how the new tools make it easy to set up and configure CDC against both SQL Server and Oracle sources. We present the different CDC configuration options, and demonstrate design patterns that can be used to overcome common problems you’ll face while doing incremental loading of data. If your ETL solution needs to handle incremental loads from data sources that were designed explicitly to support them, then this is a session you can’t afford to miss.

BI Power Hour
DBI207 | Intermediate – 200 | Tuesday, June 12 @ 5:00 PM

The legacy continues. The Microsoft Business Intelligence team is excited to once again present the BI PowerHour. In this entertaining session, we dazzle you with new demonstrations that expose the lighter side of Business Intelligence exposing the flexibility and power of the Microsoft BI Platform. If you’ve never been to a Power Hour session, you definitely don’t want to miss it. We promise you’ll walk away impressed.
