  • intake questionnaire
  • 90-minute advisory session
  • review of limited supporting materials
  • written findings memo with prioritized recommendations

You’ll gain clarity on:

  • deployment and release risk
  • governance and observability gaps
  • supportability concerns
  • lifecycle bottlenecks
  • modernization readiness
  • recommended next steps

Description

Get expert clarity on the risks, gaps, and next best steps for your SSIS estate.

Many organizations do not have an SSIS problem.

They have a lifecycle management problem.

Packages work in Development but fail under SQL Agent. Deployments are harder than they should be. Changes are difficult to trace. Environment differences create risk. Teams spend too much time troubleshooting and not enough time delivering.

The SSIS Lifecycle Advisory is a fixed-scope engagement designed to help your team identify where friction, risk, and hidden cost are accumulating in your current SSIS delivery model — and what to do next.

This engagement is a strong fit for organizations that:

  • run SSIS in production
  • need better governance and deployment confidence
  • want more visibility into lifecycle and change-management risk
  • are considering modernization, but are not ready for a rip-and-replace decision
  • want expert guidance before committing to a larger consulting engagement

What’s included

  • Pre-session intake questionnaire
  • Review of limited supporting materials
  • One 90-minute live advisory session
  • Written findings memo
  • Prioritized recommendations and roadmap options

What we evaluate

  • deployment and release management risk
  • governance and change visibility gaps
  • observability and supportability concerns
  • environment drift and operational friction
  • lifecycle bottlenecks slowing delivery
  • modernization and migration readiness
  • next-step options aligned to your business goals

Deliverable

You will receive a concise written findings memo that summarizes:

  • current-state observations
  • top risks
  • top opportunities
  • priority recommendations
  • suggested roadmap options

Best for

  • IT leaders responsible for enterprise SSIS environments
  • data engineering teams supporting production SSIS workloads
  • organizations planning modernization from a position of control
  • teams that need an expert outside perspective before making tooling, process, or architecture decisions

How this connects to DILM Suite

The SSIS Lifecycle Advisory helps identify where lifecycle control is weakest in your current SSIS estate.

Depending on your environment, recommendations may include:

  • SSIS Catalog Compare for catalog drift, environment comparison, deployment visibility, and governed deployment artifacts.
  • SSIS Framework for package orchestration, centralized configuration, application-level workflow, and centralized execution logging.
  • DILM Suite Bundle for teams that need both catalog governance and execution lifecycle control.
  • Implementation support for teams that want help adopting the tools and improving their lifecycle process.

What’s not included

This is an advisory engagement, not a hands-on implementation project.

  • package rewrites
  • full estate inventory
  • code remediation
  • custom framework implementation
  • software installation or configuration
  • ongoing support beyond the engagement
