Using SOA Principles to Drive Modern EDI Solutions
Speakers: Chris Kabat, Clark Miller, Manoj Agarwal
Technical Offerings Track, talk 12
EDI solutions have been around for years. Many of these solutions haven’t changed since they were originally put in place. Today, organizations are beginning to take a look at those solutions through the lens of service orientation. Extending the agility of service oriented principles to the EDI platform can decrease development time, drive customer satisfaction, and reduce overall costs. In this session, we will show how an advanced EDI platform, powered by BizTalk Server, can provide flexible, loose-coupled solutions that can be governed like any other service oriented solution. We’ll then review a real world implementation of these techniques by a large automobile parts manufacturer. Last but not least, we will take a look at EDI/AS2 enhancements in BizTalk Server 2009 and future investments the BizTalk product group is making in this space.
