N:SYNC AG, Your Strategic Partner for the Entire Migration Lifecycle

Transitioning from Microsoft BizTalk Server to Azure Integration Services does not require an incalculable major project, but rather a structured approach. As an experienced integration partner, we guide you methodically and collaboratively through all phases of the transformation:

NSYNC BizTalk:Migrator
  • Strategic Consulting & Analysis:
    We don't start with the migration, but with understanding your requirements. Together, we evaluate your BizTalk landscape and define the optimal strategy for every single interface ("Lift & Shift", "Lift & Adapt", or "Lift & Optimize" | Logic App or Function App).
  • Standardized Project Phases:
    From initial planning through automated execution to quality assurance and completion, your project follows a structured process. This minimizes risks and creates transparency at every stage of the project.
  • Guidance & Project Success:
    Our team actively supports you during planning, implementation, testing, and go-live. We do not leave you alone during the transformation, but ensure that your interfaces transition seamlessly into the Azure world.
  • Support & Managed Services:
    We remain by your side even after go-live. Upon request, we offer professional support and managed services so you can fully concentrate on your core business while we ensure the stability of your Azure integrations.

Architecture Standard & Migration as a Service

Microsoft BizTalk Server is the foundation of your established integration landscape, but the expiring support is increasingly turning it into a risk. We transform your BizTalk artifacts into modern Azure code. Thanks to our product NSYNC BizTalk:Migrator, faster, safer, and with measurable cost savings.

NSYNC BizTalk:Migrator in Action

Methodology & Architecture at a Glance

Migration as a Service: Your Guarantee for Planning Reliability
  • Instead of a black-box migration, we focus on transparency and methodical collaboration: Together with your team, we define the target architecture based on proven AIS standards.
  • Based on this solid foundation, your interfaces are created according to the agreed definition.
  • You decide on the delivery model: We can support your in-house deployment with our expertise or implement it as a full-service solution on your behalf.
  • This is how we guarantee that your integration logic is precisely transformed and future-proofed into Azure Integration Services.
Azure Integration Services Structure
  • The solution generated by the NSYNC BizTalk:Migrator is taking your needs into account and is a standardized, consistent implementation based on a mature AIS reference architecture.
  • The functional logic of the BizTalk solution can be completely preserved or adjusted as needed.
  • Principle: "Lift & Shift", "Lift & Adapt", or "Lift & Optimize".
  • There is a choice between Logic App and Function App.
Visualisation & Documentation
  • The generic specification serves as the basis for visualizing all processes.
  • The documentation can be generated from this at any time.

Strategic Migration Paths - Your Way into the Azure Future

The phase-out of Microsoft BizTalk Server does not require a rushed action, but rather a well-founded decision. With the NSYNC BizTalk:Migrator, you rely on an automated, low-risk transition to the Azure cloud. The NSYNC BizTalk:Migrator generates fully functioning interfaces, from reception to dispatch. You receive a fully integrated solution, including infrastructure setup and optional process monitoring, which makes your interfaces transparent in productive operation from day one.

To ensure a safe and efficient BizTalk phase-out, we offer you strategic freedom: You decide individually for each interface which migration path is best suited to your requirements. Whether rapid 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, while 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 the 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 also simultaneously optimize the underlying process workflows. You actively and sustainably eliminate technical debt ("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.
