Biztalk Roadmap...

Summary

As the needs of organizations continue to evolve, Microsoft remains committed to ensuring their success by providing driving mainstream enterprise connectivity across our application platform through BizTalk Server. Instead of investing in plumbing to connect across platforms and application, BizTalk lets our customers shift the investment to more value-added development of applications and processes. At the heart, this is Microsoft doing what Microsoft does best – make hard things simple through productive tools and runtimes. BizTalk Server has the largest customer base of any integration server on the market, and Microsoft remains committed to delivering innovation and value through future releases to help developers, IT professionals, and business users achieve enterprise integration in their company.

BizTalk Server 2009 represents the next release in Microsoft’s long-term strategy to enable the connected enterprise. Microsoft has invested thousands of development years to create one of the most productive infrastructures for enterprise connectivity and integration on the market: Microsoft BizTalk Server. What used to take customers months and years to design and implement now takes days and weeks. But customers are building increasingly complex composite applications, and Microsoft believes that we can go much farther to help them by further improving the tools and better integrating the developer and information worker environments. BizTalk Server 2009 builds on the existing integration capabilities, which make it easier and less expensive to connect systems within an organization as well as those of partners and customers. Used in conjunction with other components of our “Real World SOA” application platform (e.g., Windows Server, .NET, Visual Studio, SQL Server, and SharePoint) BizTalk Server allows service-oriented applications to connect and interoperate to a wide range of highly heterogeneous systems, including LOB systems, legacy systems, smart devices, and trading partners.

Today, more than 8,000 global customers (83 percent of the Global 2000) have bet their business on BizTalk Server, many for mission-critical workloads. By lowering the cost and complexity of seamlessly integrating disparate systems, BizTalk Server provides the same class of infrastructure to a broad set of customers.

BizTalk Server 2009 enhances enterprise connectivity with broad industry support of WS* protocols, the edge via Microsoft BizTalk RFID, and business partners though EDI.
