Business processes span applications and boundaries – we live in a distributed world

Solutions encompass a range of capabilities

It is still hard… SOA helps/will help… but we need more…

Microsoft is a “platform” company

Technology is only “part” of your problem

We will focus this morning on WHAT, WHY and HOW…

Different workflow engines that work the same

way using different implementations

BizTalk has many capabilities specifically for direct

integration to systems

BizTalk has it’s own workflow engine but it cannot

be re-purposed, re-hosted or extended

WF is a general purpose engine

WF needs a Host and some additional capabilities

for persistence, scaling, management
