Re: Low cost B2B

We looked at BizTalk a few weeks ago as a possible EDI solution. This
article seems to be stretching reality a quite a bit. For BizTalk to run,
develop maps, send and receive documents, and list errors, we needed VB Pro
Workshop, Exchange Server, Visio, and several other high-ticket Microsoft
products.
All for less than $1000? I do not believe it. We calculated more than
$50,000 for all of the software licenses for and to support BizTalk. The
license must be only for BizTalk and it won't run without all the other
stuff.
IMHO, this product has nowhere near the value of the license Microsoft
expects, even when it is finished, ready to use, a few years from now.
