Anyone want to comment on the BizTalk Server from Microsoft and what it is all about? Have been hearing lots of hype about this but have heard no substance. What does it provide for you? Your input is appreciated!

Hi
I've been playing around with the beta of this product for a couple of months now with a view to implementing it early in the new year. Given our end-to-end Win2K DNA architecture we needed a plug 'n go XML B2B and EAI message hub and translator and this product appear to deliver just that. It sucks XML (and other kinds of data) from directories, queues or applications and applies XSL translations to it and pops it out to a destination technology which can be queues, files or HTTP-based. It also has a workflow component for co-ordinating message handling operations. The tools that it comes with are quite cool; the XML schema creator / editor and the graphical XSL-based translator tool. It's fine for what we want 'cos we are all Microsoft but it doesn't readily fit in a heterogeneous environment. Hope this helps. Cheers.
