We are pleased to announce to our customers and partners that we will once again be participating in the Technology Adoption Program (TAP) for the next version of BizTalk Server. Microsoft has yet to announce a final name for the product, it is presently being referred to as BizTalk Server 2010 R2 or simply v-next, however they have indicated that the release date will be about six months after the release of Windows 8 Server. I recently posted another blog that talks about the future of BizTalk, check it out.

The TAP program assists Microsoft in soliciting feedback from customers and partners regarding yet to be released products. As participants in the TAP program we will be under strict non-disclosure requirements so we won’t be able to say too much about the product until Microsoft does, but rest assured that we will providing all the feedback that we can to get all the cool features into the product that we have been looking for.

QuickLearn has previously participated in the TAP program for other versions of BizTalk and for Windows Azure. We will be prepared to offer training on whatever new features are coming down the line as soon as the product is fully baked!
