Nous BizTalk to Azure Migration Framework: 2 Week Assessment

Nous’ BizTalk to Azure Migration Framework is designed to help organizations maximize the benefits of migrating to Azure while keeping costs under control. The framework has evolved over multiple modernization projects executed to modernize BizTalk systems to Azure Native solutions using Azure Functions / Logic Apps, Cosmos DB, and others. The framework outlines the Azure Native options for various BizTalk artifacts, such as orchestration, BRE, and adaptors, to Azure Native services with its final state as SaaS on Azure.

This assessment is the first step in identifying the appropriate modernization path for your organization’s unique requirements.
