Mist 3.2 Released

IMPROVED PACKAGE DESIGNER

Varigence is pleased to announce Mist 3.2. This release has a modernized user interface and improved package designer.

With Mist you can model and generate SSIS packages, SSAS cubes, and other BI assets using Business Intelligence Markup Language (Biml). Or leverage Mist designers for creating and modifying your BI assets. You can also import already made SSIS packages into Mist, allowing you to continue their development directly with Biml.

Further, Mist incorporates BimlScript, which lets you codify Biml creation with reusable templates and transformers. BimlScript makes it trivial to apply changes across several BI assets and enforce design patterns.

Mist is available with a perpetual or subscription license. Subscription licenses are renewed every 30 days with no commitment required.
