| Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006 Provides: |
 |
| The heart of the product is the BizTalk Server 2006 Engine. The engine has two main parts: |
 |  | A messaging component that provides the ability to communicate with a range of other software. By relying on pluggable adapters for different kinds of communication, the engine can support a variety of protocols and data formats, including Web services and many others. |  |  | Support for creating and running graphically-defined processes called orchestrations. Built on top of the engine's messaging components, orchestrations implement the logic that drives all or part of a business process. | |
| |
| Our Microsoft BizTalk Server Consulting team uses several other technologies in concert with the engine, including: |
 |  | A Business Rules Engine that allows evaluating complex sets of rules. |  |  | A Health and Activity Tracking tool that lets developers and administrators monitor and manage the engine and the orchestrations it runs. |  |  | An Enterprise Single Sign-on facility, providing the ability to map authentication information between Windows and non-Windows systems. | |
| |
| BizTalk Server 2006 provides a group of technologies that address the more business-oriented needs of information workers. Those technologies are: |
 |  | Business activity monitoring, which allows information workers to monitor a running business process. The information is displayed in business terms rather than technical terms, so that business oriented workers can directly control the displayed information. |  |  | Business Activity Services, allows information workers to set up and manage interactions with trading partners. | |
| |
| All of these technologies are focused on solving the problems inherent in using a diverse set of software to support automated business processes. The next section examines how these solutions might look. |
