Driven by new business processes and regulation, the need for data exchange between organisations is heavily increasing. As 'Trading Partners', companies exchange data using electronic messages or 'events'. The automation of this B2B communication is very different compared to the use of Enterprise Service Buses within an organisation. This presentation will show different insights in protocols and message formats which are being used in business, from file transfer and EDI until AS2 with different XML dialects. Also security and integration with 'endpoints' are explained.

2. Get acquainted with B2B integration Overall presentation goal

3. Abstract Gedreven door nieuwe business processen en door regulering neemt de behoefte voor gegevensuitwisseling tussen organisaties hand over hand toe. Als 'trading partners' wisselen bedrijven massaal gegevens uit onder de vorm van elektronische berichten of 'events'. De automatisering van deze B2B-communicatie kent zeer belangrijke verschillen ten overstaan van de integratie door middel van 'enterprise service buses' binnen een organisatie. Tijdens deze avondconferentie verkrijgt U inzicht in de verschillende protocollen en berichtformaten die terzake worden toegepast, gaande van file transfer en EDI tot AS2 met allerlei XML-dialecten. Ook beveiliging en integratie met 'eindsystemen' wordt uitvoerig behandeld. De markt van B2B-integratie-oplossingen is overigens in volle evolutie. En met de komst van 'cloud computing' zal de wereld van B2B-communicatie nog drastisch wijzigen. Communicatie via de cloud, en met partners in de cloud, vormt een belangrijk toekomstperspectief ! De sprekers geven de nodige achtergrond en leiden U, in één avond, door de boeiende evoluerende wereld van B2B-integratie al dan niet via cloud computing.

117. Hubspan Example of Intergration Service Provider that pretends to be Integration As A Service Why not IAAS? No “self service”

120. Microsoft IAAS announced Also this week, we disclosed an early peek into our strategy of “Integration as a Service” which begins to shed light on how we will be taking the integration workload to the cloud. This is a transition we have already made with Windows Server and SQL Server (as we have released Azure flavors of these server products); and we are committed to following this same path with integration. Our plans to deliver a true Integration service – a multi-tenant, highly scalable cloud service built on AppFabric and running on Windows Azure – will be an important and game changing step for BizTalk Server, giving customers a way to consume integration easily without having to deploy extensive infrastructure and systems integration.

122. Summary Integration As AService Very promising Interesting new players + market turmoil Mix of in the cloud & on-premise Software and Hardware appliances Self-service (but someone’s got to do it) 1st wave: EDI & VAN Old technologies aren’t gone yet, e.g. EDI 2nd wave: XML over Internet AS2, SFTP, … With or without Integration Service Provider Many XML languages, too many XML dialects 3rd wave: Integration As AService
