12:45: Management and Monitoring of BizTalk Server using BizTalk360
by Saravana Kumar [Microsoft Integration MVP]
Some of you might have attended the BizTalk innovation day in Stavanger last year and watched my session on BizTalk360. You may be thinking, you don’t want to hear the same story again. But, it’s pretty much 12 months since you heard the story and BizTalk360 is drastically advancing product with one simple objective “Increase the efficiency of day-to-day BizTalk Server operations”. There were 2 major releases (5.0 and 6.0) since my last presentation and possibly a big announcement by the time I present the session in Stavanger again this year. So I can assure you, you’ll not be disappointed by this session.

14:30: Proactivity in BizTalk
by Tord Glad Nordahl [Microsoft Integration MVP]
As BizTalk evolves and matures over time the importance of the applications and its dependencies is getting more attention. We all know that business-critical application only ends up as business-critical when they run in production. As a BizTalk Expert, it’s important to be aware of the different areas to monitor and follow to create a proactive solution. When it comes to performance counters, logs, databases, disks, hardware e.g. it’s important to be aware when and if they are approaching a possible failure.
15:15: BizTalk Hostage Situation

There are many bad implementations of BizTalk around the world created by consultants that do not understand BizTalk. The deployed solution takes the IT budget hostage.
