Biztalk - What's Next : Cloud Deployment Options for Developers Paperback

Tens of thousands of customers across the world use Microsoft's BizTalk Server as the backbone to integrate line-of-business applications and their trading partners.

Affordability and the BizTalk's use of well-understood technologies such as Windows Server for hosting, .NET for development, SQL for state management and native integration with other Knowledge Worker products like SharePoint, Dynamics CRM and SSRS have created a large and loyal customer base.

Microsoft is making huge bets on Azure while divesting from servers and has not made any significant enhancement to the BizTalk Server product line recently.

The future will see an increase of integration demands for enterprises with emerging cloud, mobile devices and the Internet of Things and Microsoft is expected to continue to support both BizTalk Server and BizTalk Service to provide its customers a compelling set of features.

What does this trend mean for the tens of thousands of enterprises that have invested in BizTalk and made it their backbone and a key software in their technology stack?This 200 page book offers real solutions to this dilemma by explaining four scenarios that demonstrate how to make key technology integration decisions confidently while providing continuity for your business and customers.
