SQL Server 2005 Integration Services (SSIS) lets you build high-performance data integration solutions. SSIS solutions wrap sophisticated workflows around tasks that extract, transform, and load (ETL) data from and to a wide variety of data sources.
This Short Cut begins with an overview of key SSIS concepts, capabilities, standard workflow and ETL elements, the development environment, execution, deployment, and migration from Data Transformation Services (DTS).
Next, you'll see how to apply the concepts you've learned through hands-on examples of common integration scenarios.
Once you've finished this Short Cut, you'll have the background and understanding you need to start building your own SSIS integration solutions.

Comments about oreilly SQL Server Integration Services:
Really nice book for getting someone started on SSIS. Its a book you would pass on to someone not familiar with SSIS and ask them to read it over a weekend.
Doesnt cover advanced concepts but like it says its a shorcut to get started.I would say its an excellent book to have around.
Now i wish Oreilly publish a handbook that covers some advanced issues encountered while building SSIS packages.

It is all about ETL functionality and gives very well described examples. Starts with a definition and later describes various components with screenshots. It defines all the key concepts. Later focuses on migrating legacy code and has around 10 examples with different scenarios
