What is Biml?
Business Intelligence Markup Language (Biml) is the powerful programming language that automatically generates SQL scripts, SSIS packages, and other data assets for data warehouse and business intelligence solutions.
Biml serves as the foundation that powers all of Varigence's data automation platforms.
From XML to Data Solutions
Biml combines XML with C# or VB code to automatically generate data warehouse assets including scripts, packages, cubes, and reports.
With no server installation required, Biml seamlessly integrates with your existing infrastructure to accelerate BI development.
SQL Scripts
Automatically generate optimized database schemas, stored procedures, and data transformation queries tailored to your specific data warehouse requirements.
SSIS Packages
Create complete ETL workflows with data flow tasks, control flow logic, and error handling to move and transform data between systems.
SSAS Cubes
Build multidimensional data models with measures, dimensions, and hierarchies for fast analytical queries and business intelligence reporting.
SSRS Reports
Generate formatted reports with charts, tables, and visualizations that connect directly to your data sources for automated business reporting.
Biml's flexible architecture adapts to any data environment, automatically generating the precise objects your infrastructure needs.
