BizTalk ServerBizTalk Server
To Automate Business Process Integration Using Standard XML Technologies
BizTalk Server
• End-to-End Solution for Automating Business Process– Business process modeling– Document validation and transformation– Document routing– Cross-platform communication and integration– Reliable/Secure Internet message delivery
between applications– Multiple protocol supported
• XML Is the Key Technology for Integration
How BizTalk works?
• Microsoft BizTalk Server uses XML internally to “describe” your business documents, and it uses Internet protocols standard such as HTTP and SMTP to deliver these documents to their destinations, thus allowing you to interoperate with various applications running in any environment as long as those applications support Internet standards.

Conclusion
• Addressing, sending and receiving messages is not enough for ensuring complete integration solutions
• Business processes define logical sequence of actions and a suitable message flow
• Business logic, which manages business processes, needs to be separated from implementation solutions and needs to be defined at a higher level
• BizTalk Server is an integration server that offers us tools and services for integration on– data level and– business process level
