Will BT2004 Meet our Requirements?
|

| Jeff Dillon 2004-03-23, 3:56 pm |
| I've just installed the BizTalk 2004 eval, and plan to go through the
tutorials today.
We are in the EMS medical billing and records management business. Our
clients, such as fire stations, have incident data that they need to report
on to various governments. The clients will be sending us raw incident and
patient data in flat files, for example, in various formats. We then
consolidate and process the data and import into our SQL2000 system, and
generate reports to send to the government agencies and medical billing
companies. So we don't have sales transactions or supplier chain
requirements. We just need to easily map incoming file formats to our SQL
schema, and easily output reports, flat, and XML files. Our clients may send
files once a day or once a week, via FTP for example. Or, we might build for
them a web service at their location, to securely expose their AS400
incident data, that we may consume for reporting and billing purposes. Does
BizTalk 2004 fit into this scenario?
If so, it looks like we would start with the Partner edition for our 2-3
clients.
What else (adapters, etc) would we need that isn't included off-the-shelf
with BizTalk?

| From what you have mentioned so far, BizTalk Server 2004 would be an
excellent fit. The seperate adapter/accelerator products that might come up
is the HL7 Accelerator (if you are going to exchange HL7 messages), or
possibly something to talk to the AS/400 (but I have done it many times with
just in-the-box features).
