Examining Master Data integration using BizTalk Server and SQL Server Master Data Services, in this session will give an introduction to using BizTalk Server together with SQL Server Master Data Services. These technologies are helpful in an Enterprise Information Management scenario. It will showcase the SQL Server technology and talk about what you need to know and the patterns you can use from an integration perspective to import and export information and perform integration between SQL Server and external information sources.

11. What is the “Data Steward’s” favorite
tool?
Microsoft Excel

12. Demo
• Introduction
• Working with Master Data Services in SQL Server 2012
• The Portal
• Excel

14. What Master Data Services is
• It is a central data store
• It contains data staging tables and data export views
• It does not contain any integration capabilities in itself

15. What Master Data Services is not
• It is not data distribution
• It is not data sync from a (another) master system

16. So how do we import data
without Excel?
