One of the topics that I speak frequently about is using SharePoint as an application development platform. Often building solutions on top of SharePoint requires integration with external systems, people, data and processes.

Microsoft is running a series of events targeted at Enterprise Architects and others that are working with SharePoint and business process automation.

At this event, you will learn:

• About the price/performance advantage of Microsoft’s Application Platform to drive your integration, SOA and composite application projects
• How BizTalk Server enables various B2B scenarios across industry domains like Manufacturing, Healthcare and Financial Services
• How the Microsoft Application Platform can help keep data in sync across your mainframe and ERP based systems and connect with SharePoint to provide an integrated end-user view

Session abstracts, event locations and registration information can be found here. The Boston, MA event will be held on Thursday, January 21.
