SQL Server and SSIS consulting
Many enterprises still run critical data on SQL Server and SSIS — for good reasons. We work hands-on in T-SQL, SSMS, SSIS and SQL Server Agent to build new packages, stabilise failing ones and make large, undocumented estates understandable again.
When teams bring us in
Signs you need SQL Server & SSIS support
- Hundreds of SSIS packages with little documentation and one person who understands them
- SQL Agent jobs fail intermittently and are simply re-run
- Stored procedures have grown into thousands of lines of row-by-row logic
- Deployments are manual and differ between environments

FAQ
SQL Server & SSIS — common questions
- Do you support both the SSIS catalog (SSISDB) and older package deployment?
- Yes. We work with the project deployment model and SSISDB as well as legacy package deployment stored in msdb or the file system, and can help migrate between them.
- Can you take over an SSIS estate someone else built?
- Yes — that's a common starting point. We inventory the estate, map dependencies and document it before changing anything.
- Should we replace SSIS?
- Not automatically. SSIS remains a solid tool for many workloads. We recommend migration only where it clearly reduces cost or risk, and plan it with downstream impact understood.
