I recently realized I hadn’t mentioned another session on my blog, so I’m fixing that now. Almost two years ago, I delivered a session at INTEGRATE 2022 about building a hybrid integration solution with BizTalk Server 2020.
This topic remains highly relevant, even though many consider BizTalk an old technology. In reality, many companies still rely on BizTalk Server and continue to build hybrid integration solutions around it.
📝 One-Minute Brief
Building hybrid integration solutions remains a critical requirement for many organizations that combine on‑premises systems with cloud services. This post revisits a session delivered at INTEGRATE 2022 and explains how BizTalk Server 2020 can be used as a key component in hybrid integration architectures, enabling seamless interaction between legacy systems and modern, cloud‑based services.
We live in the age of fast digital transformation. Different emerging services (on-premises, cloud-based, IoT, etc.) are proliferating rapidly, resulting in a more heterogeneous IT architecture. A company can rarely choose only one direction, e.g., to move entirely to the cloud or to retain 100% on-premises. Even when addressing a cloud strategy, it is impossible to migrate everything from one day to the next or at the intended pace.
However, when we have this heterogeneous landscape composed of different legacy and modern systems, tools, vendors, and technologies, a major problem may arise: how can we put all of these systems and tools to interact with each other to create the concept of a single production system? Hence, the strategy of hybrid integration appeared.
This session will discuss some of these scenarios and how we can achieve amazing hybrid integrations.
