BizTalk Integration Accelerator
Applications integrated faster and for less cost
The BizTalk Integration Accelerator is a managed service designed to dramatically reduce the time cost and risk of integrating business applications. It comprises of three elements:
BizTalk Integration Suite – provides the mapping to cover all of the Microsoft technology choices and helps put in context those choices.
Integration Technology selector - provides a way of navigating the integration technology choices you have to make each time you connect two applications/systems together.
Integration Services estimator – provides a high level consulting cost based on your technology choices and other relevant integration options
The costs of application integration - Based on real experiences with our clients we can show you how the Integration Accelerator can reduce the cost of application integration by 35% compared to using an employed team and 62% compared to using contractors. By using ICS expertise and years of experience, we believe we can provide you with the most cost effective solution.
BizTalk Integration Suite:
- Integration Technology mapping over Microsoft’s Integration product set allowing correct technology selection without the time and cost of learning each of the products
- Reusable patterns and practices to substantially reduce the time and cost of building each Integration option
The Integration Suite offers assistance around the technology choices including the implications of each choice, as well as a wealth of experience and expertise including patterns and practices, provisioning the development environment which includes automated build tools, and re-useable tools which speed up the development process.
Integration Technology selector - allows the correct Microsoft technology to be selected without the time consuming and expensive need for clients to build a deep knowledge of all the options available. It allows you to answer a number of questions to determine the level of functionality the business requirement has specified or needs to consider. By making some decisions based on the business criteria of the project and by asking the right ‘integration’ questions the type of integration choice start to become clearer. Importantly, it shows a matrix of business features and implications that each choice supports and some high level guidance in terms of costing.
Integration Services estimator - The final stage of the Integration Accelerator is the ‘Quickquote’ application. The ICS BizTalk QuickQuote is a web based data collection tool linked to backend calculation engine that provides automated estimates for BizTalk Integration projects. It uses your identified interface requirements and provides an estimate of consulting time needed to implement those interfaces, as well as suggesting additional recommended activities. The aim is to give you a full breakdown of the overall cost.
