Azure Integration Services

APIs, workflows, messaging and events that connect your applications, partners and data, built to be reliable, observable and easy to change.

Services

What we deliver

Whether you're starting fresh or untangling years of point-to-point connections, we help you build an integration platform your team can trust.

Integration platform setup

A secure, governed landing zone for integration: networking, identity, environments, naming, pipelines and shared components.

API strategy & management

Design and publish APIs with Azure API Management: versioning, policies, security, developer portal and usage analytics.

Workflow & process automation

Business processes orchestrated with Logic Apps (Standard), Durable Functions and hundreds of built-in connectors.

Messaging & event-driven design

Decoupled, resilient systems with Service Bus queues and topics, Event Grid and Event Hubs, with retries and dead-lettering handled properly.

B2B & EDI

Partner integrations with X12, EDIFACT and AS2 using Logic Apps integration accounts, maps and schemas.

Monitoring & operations

End-to-end tracking with Azure Monitor and Application Insights, business-level dashboards, alerts and run-books.

Modernisation

BizTalk to Azure, without the big bang.

BizTalk Server 2020 is the final release of the product. Moving to Azure Integration Services is the natural next step, and we make it a planned, low-risk one.

  • Inventory & assessmentWe catalogue applications, orchestrations, maps, pipelines, adapters and dependencies, and rate each for complexity.
  • Target mappingEach BizTalk artefact is mapped to its Azure equivalent: Logic Apps, Service Bus, Functions, API Management or integration accounts.
  • Phased migrationInterfaces move in waves with hybrid connectivity, so BizTalk and Azure run side by side until each cutover is proven.
  • Test & verifyMessage-level regression testing compares outputs between old and new before anything is switched off.
Typical scenarios

Problems we solve

ERP and CRM synchronisation

Keep customers, products, orders and invoices consistent across Dynamics 365, SAP, Salesforce and line-of-business systems.

Partner and supplier onboarding

Expose secure APIs or EDI channels so partners can trade with you without bespoke work for every new connection.

Replacing brittle scripts and file drops

Turn scheduled jobs, FTP transfers and hand-built scripts into monitored, retryable workflows.

Real-time events across the business

Publish business events once and let any system react, rather than polling databases or building new connections each time.

Hybrid on-premises connectivity

Reach on-premises databases, file shares and applications securely with the on-premises data gateway, VNet integration and private endpoints.

Data feeds for analytics and AI

Deliver clean, timely data into your data platform and into AI solutions that need current business context.

FAQ

Common questions

Logic Apps or Azure Functions: which should we use?

Usually both. Logic Apps are excellent for orchestration and connector-heavy workflows that business and IT teams can read; Functions suit custom logic, heavy transformation or high-throughput processing. We pick per interface, not per project.

Can you work with our existing on-premises systems?

Yes. Hybrid integration is common. We connect on-premises databases, file shares, SAP and other systems securely using the on-premises data gateway, hybrid connections, VPN/ExpressRoute and private endpoints.

How long does a BizTalk migration take?

It depends on the number and complexity of interfaces. A short assessment gives you an inventory, complexity scoring and a phased plan with estimates, so you can decide with real numbers.

Who owns the code and the Azure resources?

You do. We build in your Azure tenant and your repositories, with documentation and infrastructure as code, so your team can run and extend everything we deliver.

Have an integration or AI idea on the table?
