I am trying to gauge some interest from you all – as I want to get COVAST to run an updated webcast session for me on their product called the COVAST MAP Accelerator for BizTalk Server. This product allows customers who have existing investments in other EDI solutions to convert the maps to BizTalk. Here in Australia, I have a couple of customers that are looking at consolidating all of their EDI traffic into BizTalk (so migrating their Gentran maps for example). This accelerator is meant to speed up the process by migrating the maps to BizTalk for you! I have spoken to a couple of you, but if anyone else is interested, I’m looking at holding one asap. Email me at cvidotto@microsoft.com so I can gauge interest.
The documentation I have states at the moment: The list of integration systems and versions that can be converted using the Map Accelerator is growing and currently includes:
Sterling Gentran:Server for Unix
Sterling Gentran:Server and Gentran:Director (Pro) for Windows
Sterling Gentran:Basic for Mainframe
Axway AMTrix – all versions using Datamapper 3.0
webMethods Integration Server
Mercator
TIE eVision – all versions using spEDI*map 2.0 or higher
