Analysts: Microsoft BizTalk Server Rocks
MS Press | at | by Mike
In the past couple months, industry analysts from leading firms Giga Information Group, Forrester Research Inc. and Hurwitz Group have written reports reviewing how Microsoft BizTalk Server 2000 has become a leader in the enterprise integration marketplace after just nine months of availability. The reports establish the solid position of BizTalk Server in the integration industry with a solution based on XML and SOAP that enables companies to integrate disparate applications and orchestrate Web services.
The reports mention that BizTalk Server 2000 has gained market credibility, particularly since Ford Motor Co. decided to standardize its integration platform on BizTalk Server. Ford chose BizTalk Server 2000 for a number of reasons, one being its support of XML and other Web services standards. Ford also was looking for a strong and stable vendor that it could rely on to work closely with it on integration projects.
