Introduction
Azure BizTalk Service or Microsoft Azure BizTalk Service (formerly called Windows Azure BizTalk Services or WABS) is a service in Microsoft Azure that provides a means of hosting an integration solution that is running and managed through the cloud. It is general available since mid-November 2013. This service is meant to provide EAI or B2B services through the cloud.
- The EAI Service provides means to exchange data through different protocols and transform to and from different formats. Similar to what the on premise BizTalk offers through mapping and routing.
- The B2B service gives businesses the ability to exchange data between their partners. You can view it as a new way of EDI data exchange other than a value added network (VAN).
