Traditional client server rules no longer apply as companies extend their integration outside their own internal networks.  The techniques for B2B integration are also being applied inside the firewall to simplify the integration of internal systems.  This presentation will address the scenarios where XML helps bridge organization and internal system gaps, what Microsoft is delivering vis a vis SOAP and BizTalk to meet the requirements of routing for various message types, and demonstrate tools Microsoft is providing (e.g., BizTalk Server Messaging and Orchestration) for the assembly and coordination of complex component-based applications.

Larry Gregory is a Principal Technology Specialist in Microsoft's E-Commerce Solutions Group.  He started with Microsoft in 1991 and has been focused on e-commerce technologies since 1996 including Merchant Server, Microsoft Commercial Internet System 1.0, Site Server 2.0 Enterprise Edition, Site Server 3.0 Commerce Edition, and the current generation Commerce Server 2000 and BizTalk Server 2000 products.  Prior to Microsoft, Larry worked with Andersen Consulting performing process improvement studies and technology assessments, including early LAN, WAN, and graphical UI design work.  Larry holds B.S. and M.B.A. degrees from the University of Connecticut and is a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer.
