Transition from BizTalk to Frends iPaaS for a modern, low-code integration platform that enhances collaboration, reduces costs, and ensures seamless migration.
The era of BizTalk is coming to an end. With Microsoft officially marking its mainstream end-of-life for 2028 and its extended end-of-life for two years later, businesses relying on this once-reliable integration solution need to make a decision, and some already have. Companies like Destia, Enerim, Caruna, Tokmanni, DPG Media, ISS and Eltel Networks are just a few examples of forward-looking organizations that successfully have transitioned from BizTalk to Frends.
Frends is an integration platform as a service (iPaaS), and the need for a modern, scalable, and future-proof integration platform has driven many businesses to already make the switch from BizTalk to Frends. As a result, they’ve enjoyed several benefits like transparent pricing and flexible customizations. In addition, Frends’ fast implementation and simplified administration reduce the burden on their IT teams.
“Switching from BizTalk to Frends was a game-changer for us. It fits perfectly into our Microsoft setup and the transition was very smooth. The user-friendly interface and low-code approach have sped up our projects, cut costs and given us better control. We're very happy with our choice,” says Petri Luurila, CIO from Nurminen Logistics.
