    BizTalk is well suited as middleware. Where you wish to translate an input file into an output file and send it to some endpoint. In our case, we used it to convert and send files to SAP. In many ways, it very flexible, and you can do almost anything you want with it. In many ways, it's a better solution than your SAP XI or PI as middleware, since it's much less expensive, and allows you do interface with non-SAP systems.

    I think when we have a big company [than] managing the finance is not possible by manual or old data entry. Hence these are the solutions that make the task easier. Small scale requirements can be Managed by other means as banks might be charging the Premium from companies which may be costly for smaller companies.

    • Huge capacity for queueing messages. It supports all types of adapters like Oracle, Salesforce, SMTP, FTP, etc. Also users can built custom adaptors.
    • If users want to dynamically deploy their solution without any downtime, this is a perfect solution. BizTalk will be a good fit, especially for public-facing websites.

    • Helps in load balancing.

    I gave a 7 because this product BizTalk does need time and training to get familiar with the usability and features, it is not that easy to use.

    BizTalk was selected here mainly because it is easy to integrate to a .NET application (most of them are Web Service, WCF SOAP, WCF REST and Web API) and many backend databases are Microsoft SQL Server. Another benefit is that the monitoring job is easy to set up and centralize with other .NET application monitoring jobs.

    I ll recommend SAP for Banking or other accordingly to the size of the company, if you are part of a global company and you need to have access to the big picture & All your assets then this is the right tool, if you have a small company or Fintech then you can work on an open source App

    Return on Investment
    Microsoft
    • A positive impact has been the quicker turnaround time of a part request and that part showing up in SAP using Biztalk as middleware.
    • A somewhat negative impact has been the somewhat insufficient error logging/message capture settings that Biztalk provide. This has caused occasional delays when attempted to create parts for the business.
    • A somewhat negative impact has been the need to have a specialized developer who understands Biztalk to troubleshoot issues with the Biztalk and SAP interaction when creating parts, and when adding new fields to the parts.
