Recently I had the opportunity to speak at Microsoft's quarterly tech briefing
in Ft. Lauderdale, Tampa, and Jacksonville. The travel schedule was a bit
brutal doing all three cities in just 3 days. The agenda of the briefings were
all Business Intelligence related. My piece of the puzzle was Integration
Services. I also had the chance to discuss our PragmaticWorks DTS conversion
tool called DTSxChange http://www.pragmaticworks.com/products.htm .

The crowd was engaged and very interative during the presentation which
was a lot of fun. I spoke for 90 minutes solid which surprised me a bit. I
guess when you are having fun, time just flies!

I'm going to post the powerpoint decks for all who are interested. One is
for the SSIS portion and the other is for the DTSxChange tool.

A special thanks to Quent, JC, and Dan from Microsoft for having me out!
