Brian LoesgenBizTalk Server 2006, the latest and fourth version of BizTalk, is an exciting tool that all .NET application developers should know about. BizTalk fills two key business needs: enterprise application integration, and business process automation. The powerful messaging platform allows for easy integration between applications, and also between enterprises. The business process automation engine, based on the new BPEL XML specification, allows for automation of even the most complex business processes. Throw in InfoPath for a user interface into BizTalk, tight integration with Visual Studio, Sharepoint, and Office-based monitoring and reporting tools, and you get an incredibly powerful tool.
This session will be an overview of BizTalk Server 2006. Concepts and tools will be shown by walking through several real-world, practical examples of BizTalk usage. Particular attention will be paid to Web service integration and orchestration, showing why BizTalk Server 2006 deserves consideration as the integration “glue” in a services-oriented architecture.
