Planning
Socialize High Level Design with Stakeholders
Obtain Financial Support/Owner
Obtain Consensus on reasons for migration

13. Planning
1. Using BizTalk Schemas, Maps and Trading Partner Agreements will
make migration quicker.
2. Azure Service Topics & Azure Storage to provide points of persistence.
• For retries in case of micro internet outages
• Publish subscribe model to replace the same in BizTalk Server.
3. Solutions can be migrated without touching any third –party
applications.
4. Transport protocols and message formats do not need to change.
Obtain support for POC's to verify key design assumptions
