Update on Wednesday's User Group Meeting

  • Artikel

The guys from K2 have provided some more detail on what they will be showing us during the User Group meeting on Wednesday:

Home Improvement Retailer – Integrated Sales Order Solution.

  • Charles (Sales Officer) creates a new sales order.
    • Customer data is received from SAP using BizTalk. (Using BizTalk SAP Adapter)
  • Charles submits the order.
    • K2 uses BizTalk to do a credit check on an IBM server. (Using BizTalk Host Adapter for IBM DB2)
    • Based on the data received from the IBM server an approve or decline decision is made in the K2 process.
  • When the credit check is approved
    • The Sales Order information is sent from K2 and captured back into SAP using BizTalk. (Using File Adapter and SAP Adapter)
    • An availability date is received back into the K2 process from SAP via BizTalk. (Using K2 Adapter)
  • A message is sent back to BizTalk to update data into the BizTalk BAM. (Using BizTalk MSMQT Adapter)
  • K2 creates a calendar entry in MOSS based on the availability date.
  • K2 sends an Office Communications Server message and email to the Sales Team to indicate the sale has been processed.
  • An email is sent to the customer indicating the sale has been processed.

Although the K2 guys will be using stubs to simulate SAP and DB2 this should be a great demo!  We should get a good idea of how K2 adds value to BizTalk and how human workflow can be integrated into BizTalk's business process automation focus.

Time permitting, remember that after this demo we will do a dive into the enhancements and new features coming down the line with BizTalk Server 2009.

It's going to be a jam-packed session ... so we hope to see you there!
