In our journey of the past 10 years, we have been engaging with the Microsoft BizTalk Server/Integration community through events, webinars, and many other occasions, and we will continue the same for the upcoming years. To engage with the community and new/existing customers of our products we run a webinar every month.
Our BizTalk360 Product Consultant team has started organizing webinars regularly since early 2020. During the webinars, our team often showcases the pain points in BizTalk Server operations and monitoring, and how they can be addressed using BizTalk360. During the webinars, the audience can raise questions via a chat window after which our team addresses all the questions.
The webinar we hosted last August was about a book that we are currently working on and expect to publish pretty soon.
On the 15th of January 2020, Microsoft announced the release of BizTalk Server 2020. After the release, there was a lot of talk on social media about the release. So, we thought why not cover a book where it encapsulates why and how you can upgrade from earlier versions to BizTalk Server 2020. There comes the birth of the book “Migrating to BizTalk Server 2020”.
Since about a year three people you might know from the community are working on a book about migrating to Microsoft BizTalk Server 2020. These people are Sandro Pereira, Tom Canter, and Lex Hegt. The book is in its final stages before being printed.
Hence, we decided to conduct a webinar where we gave a walkthrough on the migration area and will throw a light on what you can expect from our upcoming book “Migrating to BizTalk Server 2020”.
The agenda of the webinar looked like below.
This webinar was hosted by the authors of the book, being Sandro Pereira, Tom Canter and Lex Hegt. Also, the book is reviewed by Steve Lemkau, JoAnn Een. The Foreword is written by Mandi Ohlinger from Microsoft. You might know Mandi from all the BizTalk-related articles she wrote in Microsoft Docs.
As the latest version of BizTalk Server 2020 is released, you can benefit from it by upgrading your current version to the latest version as it contains new features and improvements.
In this slide, Sandro explained how much effort is required for biztalk migration. Also, how would it take from different versions of BizTalk Server to the latest version 2020?
