Evolution of Edi features over BizTalk Server versions 2000 to 2006 R2!

  • 项目

Hello EDI World!

Today I respond to THE most often asked question: feature comparison of Edi support across the various releases of BizTalk Server.

The comparison was put together by me along with Microsoft and Partner field representatives with the objective of presenting an unbiased perspective on how the feature set has evolved over various releases.

I truly believe that the R2 Edi offering is very robust and ‘enterprise’ ready; the claim is substantiated by a very impressive set of Beta customers including Microsoft IT.

As always comments and questions are welcome.

Namaste!
