Microsoft V-TSP–Recognized BizTalk Specialists
Your BizTalk-to-Azure migration path.
Engineered by the specialists who ran BizTalk in production. BizTalk Server 2020 is Microsoft’s last release — we move you to Azure on a staged, no-big-bang path, on your timeline.

Zero-outageParallel-run, wave cutover
Cerebrum City migrates enterprise BizTalk Server environments to Azure. As Microsoft V-TSP–recognized BizTalk specialists with two decades running BizTalk in production, we map each BizTalk artifact to its Azure equivalent — Logic Apps, Service Bus, Functions, and the Art2link ESB — then run old and new in parallel and cut over in waves, so there is no big-bang outage.

The Migration Approach
No big-bang cutover. A staged path, on your timeline.
The migration itself isn’t the risk — the moment you flip the switch is. We run BizTalk and Azure in parallel and move interfaces over in waves, so production never stops.
01 · Assess
Inventory & map
We catalog every port, orchestration, pipeline, map, and adapter, then map each to its Azure target and flag the high-risk interfaces.
02 · Build
Rebuild on Azure
Each pattern is rebuilt on the right service — Logic Apps, Service Bus, Functions, or the Art2link ESB — not force-fit into one tool.
03 · Parallel run
Prove in parallel
The new platform runs alongside BizTalk. We compare outputs message-for-message until each interface is proven — before anything moves.
04 · Cut over
Move in waves
Trading partners and interfaces switch over in controlled waves with dead-letter monitoring, so there’s never a single point of failure.

“Just use Logic Apps”The right Azure service per pattern
Where Logic Apps alone falls short
Azure Logic Apps handles many integration patterns well — but high-throughput messaging, complex mapping, and stateful orchestration expose gaps. Forcing every BizTalk workload into Logic Apps is where migrations stall.
Where it doesn’t fit, we deploy the Art2link ESB — our Azure-native BizTalk successor — so you get a modern platform without compromising on the patterns BizTalk did well.
Why Cerebrum City
We didn’t read about BizTalk. We ran it for 20 years.
Most cloud partners have never operated BizTalk at enterprise scale. We have — which is why we recognize the failure patterns before they break your migration.

BizTalk Migration FAQ
The questions enterprises ask us first
Is BizTalk Server being discontinued?
BizTalk Server 2020 is the final version Microsoft will release — there is no BizTalk Server 2022 or later. Extended support ends in 2030, after which the platform receives no security updates. Enterprises running BizTalk in production should plan a migration to Azure now, while the people who understand the existing integrations are still available to guide it.
What is the BizTalk to Azure migration path?
There is no single “lift and shift.” Cerebrum City maps each BizTalk artifact — ports, orchestrations, pipelines, maps, and adapters — to its Azure equivalent across Azure Logic Apps, Azure Service Bus, Azure Functions, and the Art2link ESB. We then run the new platform in parallel with BizTalk and move trading partners and interfaces over in waves, so there is never a single big-bang cutover.
Why migrate BizTalk with Cerebrum City instead of a generic cloud partner?
Cerebrum City is a Microsoft V-TSP–recognized BizTalk specialist with two decades running BizTalk Server in enterprise production for clients including Humana, Deloitte, JetBlue, and U-Haul. Most cloud partners have never operated BizTalk at scale. We have — so we recognize the silent-failure and dead-letter patterns that break migrations before they happen.
How long does a BizTalk migration take, and will it cause downtime?
Timelines depend on the number of interfaces and trading partners, which is exactly what the assessment scopes. Because we run BizTalk and the new Azure platform in parallel and cut partners over in waves, migrations happen with no production outage — the old system keeps running until each interface is proven on the new one.
Do we have to move everything to Azure Logic Apps?
No. Logic Apps fits some patterns well and leaves gaps in others — high-throughput messaging, complex mapping, and stateful orchestration in particular. We use the right Azure service for each pattern, and where Logic Apps falls short we deploy the Art2link ESB, our Azure-native BizTalk successor, so you are never forced into a tool that does not fit the workload.
What does a BizTalk migration assessment include?
The courtesy assessment inventories your current BizTalk estate, maps each artifact to its Azure target, flags the high-risk interfaces, and delivers a staged migration roadmap with a clear sequence and timeline — on your schedule, with no obligation.
