I want a

strategic

solution

I want

something

reusable

I want value

for money Minimize

complexity

I want to

deliver for my

customers

Can I put

everything in

the cloud and

save loads of

money

We are

comfortable

with VPN

Will we get

training on

anything

new?

If its not

servers how

do we

manage it?

We are

concerned

about

security

Will we get

training?How do we

monitor it?

How do we

know if its

broken?

I want a

chance to

play with new

things

There’s loads

of ways I can

do this

I don’t want to

be blocked so I

can hit my

deadlines

Look it works

on my

machine and

its easy

I don’t care I

just want to

get it done

Different integration

patterns may have

different

requirements

The projects are all

doing different

things?

So many options

how do I decide

which to use?

ArchitecturesRate Decide Own & Lead

Design

• How does it fit with my architecture

• Will it solve the problem

• Will it perform

• Is it secure

Delivery

• Can my development team work with this

approach

• Can I do a proof of concept

Operations

• Do my team have the skills to manage

• Do we need new tools

Organisation

• Are there organisational benefits to the

approach (eg: Reuse)

Benefits:

• Isolate what changes frequently

• Use BizTalk Server for the batch processing

• Use BizTalk Server for LOB integration

• Combine Service Bus & BizTalk for Throttling

• Expose Microservice API to new Consumers

• Autoscale where we need to, throttle where we don’t

• REUSE, REUSE
