Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, TwoConnect Inc., Introduces SOA-Ready Integration Packs for Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 R2


Innovative Pack of Web Services Components Helps Ease Enterprise Application Integration Complexities

MIAMI, Sept. 10 / / -- TwoConnect Inc., a leading provider of Microsoft BizTalk Server integration solutions, is pleased to introduce its SOA-Ready Integration Packs designed for Microsoft Corp.'s BizTalk Server 2006 R2. The Integration packs are a suite of adapters, tools, and components which significantly reduce the time and implementation costs of web service based integration and collaboration. Organizations utilizing Microsoft BizTalk Server, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, SQL Server Integration Services, or any custom .NET Framework based application can benefit greatly by implementing the SOA-Ready Integration Packs.

Developed entirely on Microsoft's Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) Line of Business Adapter SDK, the Integration Packs take full advantage of the latest Microsoft innovations for SOA related integration. Versions of the packs will be available as of October for Oracle E-Business Suite, Salesforce.com, and Microsoft Service Broker with more versions to follow by end of year.

The packs address what most medium to large enterprises face today; escalating IT costs and complexity. More specifically, they address issues related to increasing developer hours, skill-set requirements, lack of reusable code, and mounting pressure related to industry and government compliance requirements.

"The SOA-Ready Integration Packs from TwoConnect will help organizations that use BizTalk Server, Office SharePoint Server, SQL Server Integration Services, or any .NET custom application to reliably access critical line-of- business applications and key technologies," said Steven Martin, Director of the Connected Systems Division at Microsoft. "This allows development staff to spend less time in solving complex technical issues and more time on business solutions that bring competitive advantage to their companies." Organizations, can take advantage of TwoConnect's integration packs which provide:

o Point-and-click integration capabilities to multiple target systems,
eliminating needless days, weeks, and even months of developer time
o Near instantaneous creation of composite applications (Mashups) on the
Office SharePoint platform
o Out-of-the-box solutions to common integration issues such as
searching, browsing metadata, configuring connection parameters, single
sign-on integration (SSO), etc.
o Eliminate the need for direct database access where appropriate and
fully leverage the target system's available API
o Unifying approach to integration and collaboration across the core set
of Microsoft server integration products such as BizTalk Server, Office
SharePoint Server, and SQL Server.
