BizTalk End of Life: Migrate to InterSystems IRIS

BizTalk-End-of-Life

Why Migrate Now?

Microsoft BizTalk’s end-of-life (2028) is approaching fast, posing increasing risks for businesses relying on this legacy platform. Modernize your integration solutions with InterSystems IRIS data platform, deployable both in the cloud and on-premise. IRIS ensures long-term performance, scalability, and ease of maintenance, while adding capabilities for API management, application development, and analytics. Gain a competitive advantage with a modern, flexible platform – migrate to IRIS.

Key Benefits:

  • Avoid Legacy Risks: As BizTalk phases end-of-life, continuing to rely on it exposes your business to outdated technology and diminishing support. InterSystems IRIS provides a secure, supported, and future-ready integration platform that reduces operational risks and ensures compliance with modern technologies.
  • Boost Performance & Scalability: IRIS provides significantly better performance compared to BizTalk, reducing costs for your existing infrastructure and enabling efficient scalability to meet growing business needs.
  • Reduce Maintenance Costs: BizTalk maintenance can become more costly as support winds down. Migrating from BizTalk end-of-life to IRIS streamlines operations with InterSystems’ best-in-class support services, built-in and third-party management and monitoring tools, compatibility with modern containerized and cloud environments, and support for the latest versions of operating systems, including but not limited to Windows.
  • API Management, application development, and analytics: InterSystems IRIS includes InterSystems API Manager, an API gateway for managing IRIS-based RESTful APIs exposed externally. In addition to integration, IRIS serves as a robust platform for application development, data management, and analytics –  offering comprehensive capabilities to implement end-to-end solutions.

Our Migration Process from BizTalk to InterSystems IRIS:

  1. Discovery & Analysis
    We perform a detailed analysis of your current BizTalk implementation, including all integration points and workflows, to create a comprehensive migration plan.
  2. Migrating BizTalk Components to IRIS
    Leveraging our migration framework and extensive experience in integration projects, we minimize the time and effort required to migrate your integration solutions to InterSystems IRIS.
  3. Solution Refactoring
    Where needed, we refactor the integration solution to leverage InterSystems IRIS’s advanced capabilities in integration, business process management, API management, microservices development, and analytics. The platform also supports deployment in cloud and containerized environments and is compatible with a wide range of operating systems beyond Windows.
  4. Testing & Validation
    We conduct rigorous testing to ensure all integrations and orchestrations function seamlessly, preserving the integrity of your solution.
  5. Training & Support
    Post-migration, we provide ongoing support and development services, empowering your team to efficiently manage and expand your new IRIS environment.
