Sync data using SSIS

If you aren't aware of the power of SharePoint custom lists yet, the topic is worth investigating. SharePoint custom lists combine the ease-of-use that has made Excel Spreadsheets and Access databases so successful among "knowledge workers" in many organizations with the benefits of traditional databases. They offer Access-like simplicity of both administration (creating and modifying lists) and data access, while overcoming one of Access' biggest challenges: decentralization.

In addition to centralizing data on a server, SharePoint lists benefit from other traditional database features such as referential integrity, indexes, and views. They also benefit from SharePoint-provided features such as native support for workflows and automatic versioning.

And if that isn't enough to convince you of the likelihood that you'll interact with them in the near future, consider how seriously Microsoft is pushing the technology by integrating SharePoint and Microsoft Office 2007. Even if you aren't using lists today, the chances are good you will be before long.

Planning for a Tour

Hey guys, am glad that the tour which we were longed for is finalized now. We were actually planning for it for about 4 months and each time one or the other said no to it. The very reason being everyone must get their leaves approved by their organization. Yes, all of us have become busy with our professional lives and we definitely need a break and hence the tour plan is initiated. We have got five full days and we are yet to decide on the places as to where to step in. We are planning to book as a complete tour package and move on. I personally would suggest Costa Rica Resort who promises a very good in-country travel package. The prices are bit cheap when compared to those provided by other resorts. Right from the departure to the arrival, they would take care of everything. Remember, the price they quoted includes even the food that we are going to have. Just think off guys. If everyone are okay with it, let us go ahead and book the same. If you have any other suggestions, kindly let me know. Don't think much, we should finalize as soon as possible. Meanwhile, someone do inquire about the air fares and the tram facilities. Looking forward for a good time. We can rock!
