What is Biztalk server 2006 r2? With the introduction of Microsoft® BizTalk® Server in 2000, Microsoft sparked a revolution in the integration industry, proving that integration and process automation technology didn’t have to be prohibitively expensive or hard to use. Today, over 7,000 organizations rely on BizTalk Server to integrate systems and automate processes across global supply chains. With the introduction of the fifth full version, BizTalk Server 2006 R2, Microsoft builds upon the Business Process Management (BPM) and SOA/ESB capabilities in prior releases to help organizations extend core process management technologies even further.

BizTalk Server 2006 R2 puts real-time, end-to-end supply chain management within reach of every customer, spanning systems, people, and processes both within and across organizational boundaries. BizTalk Server 2006 R2 empowers customers to make informed business decisions with real-time data from geographically dispersed, yet integrated systems—putting you one step ahead of the competition. All this coupled with the confidence of an enterprise-class infrastructure, regardless of your company size. Your business, connected.
