Professional BizTalk

The BizTal (tm) Framework is an XML framework for application integration and electronic commerce. Microsoft's BizTalk Server 2000 runs on Windows 2000 Server and is capable of integrating with delimited and positional flat file formats, EDI documents, and XML. It allows you to perform the three tasks critical in enterprise application integration: design the flow of information through a system, use BizTalk and its interfaces as the glue to perform the actual integration, then track the flow of information through the resulting system. It does this by providing the integration code in a central server, removing the need for writing integration code into programs, and does much of this by configuration of the server, reducing the amount of time you need to spend programming the integration code.This book teaches you how to use BizTalk Server as an Enterprise Application Integration tool, to integrate applications into co-operating systems. It is especially suited to rapid deploying B2B and B2C e-commerce applications, where you need to integrate with legacy applications.WROX Author Team is the author of 'Professional BizTalk' with ISBN 9781861003294 and ISBN 1861003293.
