Blue Integrator (www.blueintegrator.com) is a low cost integration infrastructure product, designed to offer small and medium sized businesses the kind of professional integration options that are typically enjoyed by major corporations.  Modeled after Microsoft’s BizTalk Server – but simpler to use by far – Blue Integrator allows engineersto configure the interfaces between systems, rather than build complex, hard coded, point-to-point solutions.  

Chris Boothroyd of Avatar CTS will provide a brief overview and demonstration of the product, with a view to how some very common, real-world, integration scenarios can be implemented – such as:

•             Importing text files into a database

•             Scraping emails for order data and importing into a database

•             Receiving data from a customer web site and importing to a database

•             Exporting data from database on a schedule basis and generating text file output

•             Exporting data from database on a schedule basis and posting to a web site

•             Exporting data from the database and emailing a text file attachment

•             Updating a SharePoint list with status information from a database •             Configuring a web service front end to a database
