BizTalk Server 2002

On the most basic level, Microsoft BizTalk Server 2002 transforms and routes data (in the form of XML-based messages) within and between organizations, including organizations that use a variety of software and hardware platforms.

Companies use the basic capabilities of BizTalk Server to build and deploy business processes of many types, such as:

  • Transforming data between different formats, including XML, EDI, flat-file, and others.
  • Managing the transmission, translation and routing of messages among trading partners, between applications, and between applications and systems.
  • Integrating external data sources; and executing transactions over the network.

To make this possible, BizTalk Server provides a central, data-driven, integration server and a set of tools for performing Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) and business-to-business (B2B) transactions.
