You receive a fully integrated solution, including infrastructure setup and optional process monitoring, that makes your interfaces transparent in productive operation from day one.

    To master the end of BizTalk securely and efficiently, we offer you strategic freedom: You decide individually per interface which migration path is best suited for your requirements. Whether fast rehosting, automated transformation, or comprehensive process optimization – you retain control over the pace and direction of your modernization.

    Lift & Shift: Container-based Rehosting

    Ideal for proven XSLT mappings whose functional integrity you want to preserve one-to-one. We encapsulate these components in containers that run natively in Azure. You immediately eliminate dependency on outdated hardware and BizTalk server infrastructure without risking the stability of your mappings. The environment is modernized, the core remains untouched.

    Lift & Adapt: AIS-native Transformation

    We transfer your BizTalk artifacts directly into Azure Integration Services (AIS). In the process, we transform legacy XSLT mappings into high-performance .NET code and translate BizTalk logic into scalable Azure Logic Apps or Function Apps. You get a future-proof, cloud-native solution that precisely mirrors the behavior of your legacy system while unlocking the full scalability, security, and agility of the Azure platform.

    Lift & Optimize: Modernization & Process Update

    Use the migration step as a strategic upgrade: We not only transform the logic (XSLT to .NET / AIS) but simultaneously optimize the underlying process flows. You actively and sustainably eliminate technical debt. The result is a high-performance, low-maintenance cloud-native integration solution that makes your IT landscape more agile in the long term.
