Your legacy integration platform still works. That's the problem.

When integrations run well enough, no one prioritizes replacing them. But well enough rarely stays that way. Integration layers built for a different era of IT quietly accumulate complexity, slow delivery and make every new system you add harder to connect than the last. Frends helps organizations migrate from legacy integration platforms with a structured approach, proven tooling and a team that has done it over and over again.

Legacy platforms accumulate cost and complexity quietly, until it becomes urgent

Specialist skills become scarce, architectures designed for on-premises systems strain under cloud and SaaS demands, and every change carries more risk than it used to. For some, there's a hard deadline — BizTalk reaches end of extended support in 2028. For many others, the trigger is the realization that the integration layer has become a ceiling on how fast the business can move.

Your integration landscape is a black box

Many legacy integrations were built years ago, changed many times and documented poorly. Teams may not know exactly what is running, what depends on what, or what will happen if something changes. That uncertainty makes every decision harder.

The people who built it are hard to replace

Proprietary platforms and custom middleware accumulate institutional knowledge in a small number of people. When those people leave or retire, the risk exposure rises sharply.

Every new integration is harder than the last

Point-to-point architectures compound over time. What starts as a manageable number of connections becomes a web of dependencies where nothing can change without affecting something else.

Modern infrastructure outpaces the integration layer

Cloud services, SaaS platforms and API-first tools have transformed how enterprise systems are built. Legacy middleware was designed for a different architecture, and the gap only widens.

Switching from BizTalk to Frends was a game-changer. Frends fits perfectly into our Microsoft setup and the transition was very smooth. The low-code approach sped up our projects, cut costs, and gave us better control.

A migration partner, not just a platform

Frends combines platform and implementation expertise in one engagement. The team helping you migrate built the tooling they're using, and the methodology comes from direct experience across hundreds of migrations from BizTalk, MuleSoft, IBM IIB and custom-built middleware.

Migrating from BizTalk?

Organizations still running BizTalk-based integrations have a limited window to migrate in a controlled way before the end-of-support deadline forces the decision.

Frends has a structured BizTalk migration path. You will lower costs, simplify integrations and reuse existing code, extensions and artifacts.

 

Key capabilities

Integration inventory and dependency mapping

Catalogue existing integrations, map system dependencies and identify which connections to retire, rebuild or replicate, before a single line of new code is written.

Visual, low-code integration development

Build integrations in a drag-and-drop BPMN environment with reusable components and version control. Development is faster and the output is easier to maintain than custom-coded middleware.

 

Pre-built connectors and protocol support

A library of pre-built connectors covers common enterprise systems, APIs, file formats and messaging protocols including REST, SOAP, HL7, EDIFACT and AS2. Standard connections don't need to be rebuilt from scratch.

End-to-end monitoring and alerting

Real-time execution logs, error alerts and performance metrics across all integrations. Every flow is traceable, every failure is visible and every threshold breach triggers an alert before it becomes an incident.
