ynopsis by Stan Miastkowski

Ever since Microsoft announced the BizTalk initiative in 1999, some 50 e-commerce vendors have gotten involved in this wide-ranging plan for an XML-based solution to integrating disparate solutions in the B2B and B2C space. In Understanding BizTalk, the authors do a competent job of clarifying the scope of the initiative, with a technology overview, a look at the tools, and a host of scenarios and case studies of how it will be implemented. Whether BizTalk is ultimately a success or simply a path to other technologies, this book is a valuable tool for enterprise IT managers who want to keep an eye on the future.

Integrating applications is enormously difficult. It always has been. But integrating applications is just a means to an end -- the real end is integrating business processes. Organizations that want to thrive in the 21st century must do a better job of integrating their processes -- not only within their organization, but also between themselves and their partners as well.

Written by BizTalk insiders, with the assistance of the Microsoft BizTalk team, Understanding BizTalk demystifies the BizTalk Initiative, and provides an advance look at the tools and technologies businesses can leverage to make it fundamentally easier to integrate business processes within and between organizations.
