Modern integration: What are my options today?

In this session, you will learn how modern integration works today and which options best fit different scenarios. Specifically, the session explores a wide range of approaches, from BizTalk Server to Azure Logic Apps. Moreover, Steef‑Jan will walk through several real‑world use cases, clearly demonstrating how these technologies apply in practice.
