BizTalk Replacement together with NSYNC: Low-Risk, Automated, and Future-Proof

The end of support in April 2030 for Microsoft BizTalk Server (BTS) is forcing IT decision-makers to take action. A migration must not become an unpredictable budget drain. Learn how to transition your integration landscape to Azure Integration Services (AIS), recommended by Microsoft as the replacement, or an alternative on-premises integration platform without a "big bang" risk.

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

The transition from Microsoft BizTalk Server to Azure Integration Services or an alternative on-premises integration platform does not require an unpredictable major project, but rather a structured approach. As an experienced integration partner, we accompany 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" | Azure with Logic App or Function App, or an alternative on-premises implementation).
  • Standardized Project Phases:
    From initial planning through automated implementation to quality assurance and completion, your project follows a structured workflow. This minimizes risks and creates transparency at every stage of the project.
  • Support & 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 new integration world.
  • Support & Managed Services:
    Even after the go-live, we are there for you. 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 cornerstone of your legacy integration landscape, but the expiring support makes it an increasing risk. We transform your BizTalk artifacts into modern Azure or .NET code for on-premises. Faster, more securely, and with measurable cost savings thanks to our product NSYNC BizTalk:Migrator.

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 integration standards.
  • Your interfaces are built according to the agreed definition on this solid foundation.
  • You decide on the delivery model: We accompany your in-house deployment with our expertise or implement the solution as a full-service offering on your behalf.
  • This guarantees that your integration logic is precisely transformed and future-proofed as it moves into the new integration environment.
Implementation Structure
  • Taking your needs into account, the solution generated by the BizTalk:Migrator is a standardized, consistent implementation based on a mature reference architecture.
  • The functional logic of the BizTalk solution can be completely retained or adapted if necessary.
  • Principle: "Lift & Shift", "Lift & Adapt", or "Lift & Optimize".
  • There is a choice between Azure (Logic Apps and Function Apps) and a .NET-based on-premises implementation.
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 Future

The phase-out of Microsoft BizTalk Server does not require a rushed action, but rather a well-founded decision. With the NSYNC BizTalk:Migratorა, you rely on an automated, low-risk transition into the new integration environment. The NSYNC BizTalk:Migrator generates consistently 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 business integrity you want to preserve one-to-one. We encapsulate these components in containers that run natively in Azure or on-premises. 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 to AIS or a .NET-based on-premises integration environment. In the process, we transform legacy XSLT mappings into high-performance .NET code and translate the BizTalk logic into scalable Azure Logic Apps, Function Apps, or on-premises solutions. If you choose Azure, you get a future-proof 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 workflows. 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.
