ENTERPRISE APPLICATION INTEGRATION
Microsoft BizTalk Server
Microsoft BizTalk Server unites enterprise application integration (EAI) and business-to-business
(B2B) integration. Use it to address all of your integration challenges from the
enterprise to the Internet.
Microsoft BizTalk Server provides a powerful Web-based development and execution
environment that integrates loosely coupled, long-running business processes, both
within and between businesses. It handles transactions that run as long as weeks
or months, not just minutes or hours. Features include the ability to design and
use XLANG schedules; integrate existing applications; define document specifications
and specification transformations; and monitor and log run-time activity.
Microsoft BizTalk Server provides a standard gateway for sending and receiving documents
across the Internet, as well as providing a range of services that ensure data integrity,
delivery, security, and support for the Microsoft BizTalk Framework and other key
document formats.
Microsoft BizTalk Server and the Challenge of Connecting Diverse Systems
The majority of modern business processes depend at least in part on software. While
some of these processes are supported by a single application, many rely on diverse
software systems; which could have been created at different times, on different
platforms, and using different technologies. Automating those business processes
requires connecting diverse systems.
Microsoft BizTalk Server Manager from eBECS connects business partners together
and forms the heart of the collaboration process. Microsoft BizTalk Server is a
flexible and easily configurable toolset that provides robust integration, enabling
the seamless flow of information within and among enterprises on a global basis.
