Windows Azure BizTalk Service – WABS are general available (GA) as of today

by | Nov 21, 2013 | Blog

Today Microsoft released the new Windows Azure BizTalk Services (WABS), which extends the Azure services with new integration capabilities.

The start release contains EAI and EDI (B2B) features for

Cloud-based EDI Processing

BizTalk Services provides a robust and extensible solution for trading partner management and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) processing, which can lower the cost of business partner collaboration for enterprise and EDI service providers.

Enterprise Application Integration

BizTalk Services provides a flexible integration platform for enterprises and systems integrators to build EAI solutions for integrating on-premises, SaaS, and cloud services with easy to use config-driven interfaces.

Building Hybrid Applications

BizTalk Services provides out-of-the box, cloud to on-premises, line-of-business applications integration for SAP, Oracle EBS, SQL Server and Oracle DB. It allows you to connect with any HTTP, FTP, SFTP, or REST data sources. You can route messages by using various Windows Azure artifacts such as Service Bus Queues, Topics, SQL Database, and Blob store.

Note: Up to now the BizTalk Services do not support EDIFACT messages – so this can be a real issue to European customers.

BizTalk Server 2013 Developer Edition returns!

by | Oct 16, 2013 | Blog

01.10.2013

It’s official! The Developer Edition of the BizTalk Server which wasn’t availabe within the release of version 2013 in April returns. As from 01.11.2013 you can get the licence, not for free like before but for less than 50 USD.

So the BizTalk community made Microsoft change their mind. That’s good because BizTalk is still the most distributed Integration Server around and is at the core of the Microsoft-Strategy to connect people, system and processes on a single platform.

Of course BizTalk Server will still be included in the MSDN Premium Subscription and can therefor be used for the purpose of development.
