I am new to SQL Server came across SSIS packages. I would like to begin creating a package from a Query but do not know where to start (in terms of starting the package). Can it be built in SSMS or do I need to use other tools such as Data Tools. I have done some research online and many sources refer to BIDS but I don't not think I have that application.
Any tips would be appreciated, Thanks.

This depends to some degree on what version of SQL Server you have - after SQL 2012, the SSIS development has been moved to a program called SSDT (SQL Server Data Tools), but prior to that it was BIDS (Business Intelligence Development Studio).
A link like this one could help you get the program installed - it assumes you have access to the install disks or program for SQL Server.
As for actually developing the package, there are plenty of tutorials out there to get you started - just Google "SSIS Tutorial" and add the year of your version, and you should find something good. MSDN has one for each version of SQL Server.
