Engage your customers
Transform your products
Digital transformation
For some time now, the buzzword when it comes to innovation in the digital business space has been Digital Transformation.
Do a web search, and you will find a plethora of quotes and citations by thought leaders, CEOs and assorted business gurus.
It begins with customer-facing, personalized, rich, connected experiences, continues with internal business apps that enable employees to efficiently collaborate to anticipate and meet customer demands and extends the reach of any business through new and innovative digital channels.
Empower your employees
Optimize your operations

4. Business depends on all kinds of
applications
Mission Critical
One organization, multiple apps
From SaaS to build-in, packaged every business rely on all kinds of applications to support its processes
More, applications are part of a larger ecosystem as they also need to connect to suppliers’, customers’, and partners’ apps, even when using different processes or systems

5. Value is when applications realized lost
integrate with
cannot
each other
Business value when applications integrate with one another
But also applications that connects with suppliers’, customers’, and partners’ apps, even when using different processes or systems

6. Application integration is the backbone of this digital transformation
By 2022, 65%
of large enterprises will have implemented a hybrid integration platform

7. Integration scenarios
IoT
Application to Application
SaaS
Business to Business
The architecture of applications

8. Integration challenges
On-premises or cloud
Interfaces and APIs
Service-oriented and distributed
Data sources and formats
Despite the number of applications, there in an intrinsic dependencies to integration systems and applications, as they have multiple ways to address security, interfaces, data sources, they are distributed, run on premises or in the cloud, and each application has a unique lifecycle of updates, enhancements, fixes, etc.
It is costly to maintain integration code with multiple interfaces, APIs, data sources and formats, when applications are distributed across environments running on premises or in the cloud.

10. APIs
Workflows
Messages
Events

11. API Management
Logic Apps
Service Bus
Event Grid

12. Azure Integration Services

13. 1. Understand the principles

14. Connecting it all together
Demo

15. Event Grid triggers when there are messages on the Service Bus Queue for the Logic App to process.
Logic App 1 takes in the order, gets an Order ID, responds to the caller, and puts the message on a queue to process.
API Management projects Logic App 1 out as an HTTP API.
Logic app 2 processes the order requests against backend systems.

16. How they work together
API First: customers build a library of reusable APIs, callable both within their organization, and where appropriate, between partners and applications.
Orchestration of systems: model processes into flexible, reusable flows. Surface them, where appropriate, as APIs. Use tooling that makes processes easy to understand and manage. Call out to code and custom components as needed.
Message store as infrastructure: storing messages becomes a key part of application design, bringing scale, reliability and agility.
Event driven model: build applications and integrations using events, creating a reusable, efficient model.

21. 3. Build a migration a plan

22. Hey Microsoft! Have you got a one-click migration tool?

23. Nope.

24. But there are things we can do…

25. From BizTalk to Azure Integration Services
There isn’t a 1-1 mapping
Adopting the cloud paradigm requires a different approach
Many new concepts to take advantage of:
Connectors
API Economy
Serverless
Reactive scale

26. From BizTalk to Azure Integration Services
Many assets can be transferred from BizTalk to Logic Apps easily!
Schemas
Maps
EDI Agreements
… can all be moved to a Logic Apps Integration Account
Orchestrations & pipelines can be remodeled in Logic Apps
Tricky cases that are hard to move:
BizTalk implementations with huge code bases
Lots of rules engine (sometimes)

27. From BizTalk to Azure Integration Services
Buy in to the vision of Azure Integration Services
API Economy
Logic apps as application ‘glue’
Serverless – or dedicated – look at Integration Service Environment
Pay as you use
Identify use cases
Design a target architecture
Create a migration plan

28. 4. Don’t under-govern

29. 5. Don’t over-govern
