Tech-Ed 2009
I am very excited to announce that Tech-Ed Africa is almost upon us once again ...
I am also very happy to announce that I will once again be presenting a few sessions on BizTalk.
- Achieving Success with Integration in the Enterprise Using BizTalk Server 2009
Join this session and immerse yourself in a detailed, structured walkthrough of how to plan for and execute on an integration initiative using BizTalk Server 2009. Given the complexity of integration projects, and the number of implementations that fail, it is essential that developers, architects, and executives understand how to approach work of this nature. With the new features of BizTalk Server 2009 as a backdrop, you gain an introduction to each stage of an integration project, from requirements gathering and assessment, through development, testing phases, deployment, and production support. The new features of 2009, including mobile RFID components, expanded EDI capabilities, improved operability with the Microsoft Office system, and broader SOA and Web Service support are introduced and demonstrated. By focusing on the lifecycle of an integration project while introducing new functionality, you'll walk away with a rich understanding of not only what BizTalk Server 2009 has to offer, but also the insight necessary to achieve success with such an implementation.

So if you’re attending the conference (if not, why not?!?!?) and are interested in BizTalk / SOA / ESB / Dublin / Oslo (if not, why not?!??!) then please do try attend.
In addition to these breakout sessions, I will co-chair’ing with a “Chalk ‘n Talk” session entitled; “Putting it all Together: NET, Dublin, BizTalk Server, Oslo and Azure. Bucket of Bits or SOA Strategy?”
I am particularly excited about this one because to quote a childhood hero, “I love it when a plan comes together. So join myself, Paul Somers and David Robinson for what promises to be an interesting interactive session.
It’s going to be good!
