Extending the reach of Microsoft BizTalk Server
Thousands of companies have experienced the value and agility that BizTalk Server delivers. BizTalk Server provides you with a powerful tool that uses the latest Microsoft technologies and industry standards for automating and managing business processes.

BizTalk Server connects technology, applications and data for improved operational efficiency and competitive advantage. BizTalk helps businesses better align their IT to changing business processes and conditions. But organizations that need to connect to partners or suppliers that rely on fax for business document exchange, are facing breaks in their electronic information and message flow.

And, increasingly, organizations are looking for ways to connect their business processes to mobile employees, mobile customers and mobile partners.

Connect BizTalk to more partners, suppliers and mobile employees
Many business processes have customer communications as a start or end point. Customers and partners are demanding from enterprises to communicate using the channel that is most appropriate to them, and this may include SMS or fax messaging.

Fenestrae integrates mobile and fax communication in the BizTalk Server platform. The Fenestrae solution converts and sends XML documents and routes inbound messaging into processes making SMS and fax messaging an integrated component of any BizTalk solution.

Fenestrae extends Human Workflow Services out to the mobile users to accelerate workflows. Increased workflow velocity and process cycle time reduction can be achieved when information workers are alerted and allowed to rapidly respond using SMS messaging from their personal mobile device. Furthermore, Fenestrae helps firms deliver realtime Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) services by allowing the mobile workforce to monitor and receive mobile alerts from BizTalk Server processes.
