Microsoft Dynamics Solutions for BizTalk Server

Microsoft Dynamics business management software greatly simplifies real-world SOA projects. Core service orientation capabilities are built not
only into Microsoft Dynamics, but also into the native infrastructure—components based on the Microsoft Application Platform, such as Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft BizTalk Server, the Microsoft .NET Framework, Windows Server, and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server.

Real–World SOA Using Microsoft Dynamics

Microsoft Dynamics business management software takes advantage of the Microsoft Application Platform to increase agility and extend the reach of business solutions through SOA and business process management.

Application Platform for Service-Oriented Architecture and Business Process Management

Expose

This phase focuses on identifying which services to create from the basic applications and data. Service creation can map to a single business process, or multiple services can come together to perform a related set of business functions.

  • Microsoft Dynamics business management software exposes data and business processes, such as standards-based Web services, decreasing integration pains.

  • In addition, Microsoft Dynamics provides prepackaged connectors and adapters that further facilitate this phase.

Compose

Once services are created, they can be combined into more complex services, applications, or cross-functional business processes. To do this, Microsoft Dynamics uses the power of SOA as a mechanism to transact and interact.

  • For transactions across organizational boundaries, Microsoft Dynamics uses Microsoft BizTalk Server as the management layer to orchestrate Web services, controlling the flow and aggregating individual services into a larger combined solution.

  • Microsoft Dynamics helps increase productivity through the adaptable workflow capabilities provided by the Microsoft .NET Framework and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server.

Consume

In the final step of constructing an SOA solution, applications that consume the underlying services and processes are developed. These applications—based on Web technologies (such as portals), rich clients, business applications, or mobile devices—are what drive the productivity of the end user.

  • Microsoft Dynamics serves as a platform to consume multiple services and create composite applications that deliver excellent business value.

  • In addition, the Microsoft Dynamics Client for Microsoft Office consists of a number of self-service applications that are built to plug in to the Microsoft Office system and Office SharePoint Server. These solutions use the inherent service orientation capabilities of the Microsoft Application Platform to extend the reach of business solutions to end users.
