Beyond BizTalk: Why the Clock is Ticking on Your Integration Strategy

‍

By Marco Rodrigues, Head of Delivery, Voglio

‍

As mainstream support for BizTalk Server 2020 ends on April 11, 2028, organizations still relying on it are entering a critical risk zone. Running unsupported software exposes systems to security vulnerabilities, escalates compliance and maintenance costs—while expertise becomes scarcer, exposing teams to operational bottlenecks.

‍

Delaying migration triggers a domino effect - rising costs, growing complexity, and missed opportunities. Legacy platforms struggle to scale in cloud or hybrid environments. Modern demands like real-time APIs, AI, analytics or event-driven integration outpace what BizTalk can support. In contrast, modern iPaaS platforms like Boomi and Frends empower organizations with cloud-scale flexibility, rich connectors, embedded security, and cost efficiencies.

‍

Successful migrations don’t happen overnight, they require strategic planning: assessing your current integration landscape, understanding business priorities, and choosing the right target platform, whether cloud, hybrid, or Microsoft-centric. Waiting until the last minute typically leads to rushed transitions, low asset reuse, and operational disruption.

‍

At Voglio, we begin assessing of your BizTalk environment - covering dependencies, workloads, and business priorities. From there, we craft a phased, wave-based roadmap that delivers early wins while paving the way toward a sustainable, modern integration platform.

‍

Time is not on your side. With BizTalk mainstream support ending in just three years, now is the moment to act prudently. Starting early helps you minimize risk and concurrently unlock a new generation of integration opportunities: cloud-scale, real-time insights, and AI readiness.
