The SSIS Import/Export [[Wizard (software)|Wizard]] lets the user create packages that move data from a single data source to a destination with no transformations. The Wizard can quickly move data from a variety of source types to a variety of destination types, including text fileses and other SQL Server instances.

Developers tasked with creating or maintaining SSIS packages use a visual development tool based on [[Microsoft Visual Studio]] called the SQL Server [[Business Intelligence Development Studio]] (BIDS). It allows users to edit SSIS packages using a drag-and-drop user interface. A scripting environment in which to write programming code is also available in the tool. A package holds a variety of elements that define a workflow. Upon package execution, the tool provides color-coded, real-time monitoring.
