Differences between Integration Services 2008 R2 and 2012

What's new in SSIS 2012?  Superficially, lots, but when you look behind the scenes there aren't actually too many changes (this blog lists my personal top 10).

This blog is aimed at users of SSIS (and managers of SSIS staff) rather than database administrators.  A quick summary for the time-constrained: SSIS 2012 is fundamentally the same as 2008 R2 in use, but the way in which you deploy packages has changed radically.

So let's get started by looking at the single biggest reason to upgrade: the green ticks and red crosses!
