About me
I’ve been working with BizTalk Server since its first release in December 2000. Our company has over 500 customers running BizTalk Server, so you can safely say we’ve seen it all.
Since October 2001 I’ve been working closely with the BizTalk product team in Redmond (believe me, I’ve been on more NW33 and NW34 flights - yes, the bloody DC10 which finally has been replaced with a proper Airbus - between Amsterdam and Seattle than is healthy for you and I know most BizTalk product managers and program managers, including their eating and drinking habits) and Covast has developed several accelerators and adapters for BizTalk, of which the most popular ones are the EDI Accelerator and AS2 Adapter.
In January 2008, Microsoft aqcuired our B2B/EDI technology to incorporate it in BizTalk Server after the 2009 release. Covast still keeps on developing and selling new products based on BizTalk Server, the latest release being the ebMS adapter which provides reliable and secure messaging based on the ebXML standards.
During 2008 we started a new company called motion10. With our very experienced consultants, our extensive knowledge of the BizTalk technology and market and the existing customer base we had a great start and now are in a really nice position as a system intergrator focusing purely on Microsoft technology. We’re growing rapidly and are generally regarded as “the experts” on BizTalk and growing into SharePoint as well.
I hope you find my notes on BizTalk helpful and look forward to your comments.
