The easiest way to migrate from Biztalk
Companies relying on Biztalk must start planning their migration now. With Frends, you can lower costs, simplify integrations and reuse your existing code, extensions and artifacts.
Don’t let Biztalk’s end-of-life disrupt your business
As Microsoft announced April 11, 2028, as the last day for its mainstream Biztalk support, companies are facing a pressing question: how to migrate complex integrations without disrupting systems or affecting their business. Not only that, working with Biztalk came with its own set of challenges.
Complex workflows
Biztalk’s complex integration workflows required a specific set of technical skills while having technical limitations that grew over the years
Costly maintenance
Many IT teams relied on external consultants that were well versed in the complex Biztalk environment which requires costly manual maintenance
Lack of innovation
Rising risks and technical debt have been a reality for the BizTalk environment due to the lack of development and no new versions since 2020

Seamless code migration

- Preserve .NET extensions: All existing .NET extensions remain functional and can be integrated into the new platform
- Convert orchestration logic: BizTalk Orchestration Logic can be converted to Frends-compatible BPMN 2.0 using the proprietary Migration Toolkit
- Maintain deployment environments: The existing BizTalk deployment environment can be used as-is, with no need to reconfigure servers or port settings
Improved technical features
The platform handles contemporary integration requirements including REST APIs, modern messaging protocols, and cloud-native communication patterns that BizTalk struggles to support without extensive customization.
Frends offers flexible deployment options:
- Hybrid architecture: Seamlessly combine on-premises and cloud capabilities, allowing data to remain in specific security segments when required
- Multi-cloud support: Deploy across multiple cloud platforms and legacy systems, ensuring continuity and operational efficiency in complex IT landscapes
- Full on-premises option: For organizations with strict security requirements, Frends can be deployed completely on-premises or in air-gapped environments
Switching from BizTalk to Frends was a game-changer for us. It fits perfectly into our Microsoft setup and the transition was very smooth.
