Art2link ESB is the modern, Azure-native enterprise service bus — a natural evolution of the integration platforms your business has relied on for decades, reimagined for the cloud and accelerated by AI.
Enterprise integration has matured through generations of platforms — from on-premises hubs to early service buses to today's cloud-native runtimes. Art2link ESB is the natural next step: purpose-built for Azure, governed for the enterprise, and accelerated by AI.
Art2link ESB delivers the routing, transformation, and orchestration capabilities your enterprise depends on — running natively in your Azure tenant, governed by your existing identity and security controls, and extended by an AI co-pilot that accelerates every step of integration delivery.
Deploys directly into your Azure tenant. Integrates with Azure Active Directory, Key Vault, Application Insights, and Service Bus from day one — no parallel infrastructure, no separate identity store, no operational overhead.
Change integration behavior in minutes via configuration: routing, mapping, validation, notifications — without compiled releases.
SAP, Salesforce, Oracle, Dynamics 365, ServiceNow, HL7 / FHIR, EDI, SWIFT, and any REST or SOAP endpoint your business relies on.
Trace every message across every system. Replay failures with a single click. Audit-ready telemetry built directly into the runtime.
BizTalk expertise is retiring with its generation. Art2link runs on Azure-native skills your team already has — and that the market can supply. No scarce specialists, no single points of failure.
A line-item comparison against the two integration platforms our customers most often replace. These are the capability gaps that surface in week one of a real migration — not marketing differentiators.

Built on an enterprise-grade XSLT 3.0 processor with native support for both XML and JSON — the two languages every modern integration speaks. BizTalk only handles XML natively. In a world where most APIs communicate in JSON, that gap is a generation wide.
Art2link is a Microsoft Solutions Partner with verified competencies in Digital & App Innovation on Azure. The platform is published on Azure Marketplace, co-engineered with Microsoft's integration product group, and validated against Microsoft's enterprise security baselines.
Tell the AI what systems need to communicate. It drafts the pipeline — adapters, mappings, error handling, and tests included. Your team reviews, refines, and ships, with full control at every step.
The AI pipeline builder turned a multi-week scoping engagement into a half-day working draft. It has changed how we plan integration work.
It runs inside our Azure tenant, on our identity, with our keys and our networking. Our security organisation approved it without exception.
Art2link was founded by integration architects and engineers who spent over two decades delivering enterprise middleware — including some of the largest BizTalk deployments in the world. We know the problem because we lived it.
When Microsoft signaled the end of BizTalk Server's evolution, we didn't wait for a successor — we built it. Art2link ESB was engineered from the ground up as an Azure-native platform that carries forward everything that worked in traditional integration while removing everything that didn't.
Today, Art2link is a Microsoft Solutions Partner, published on Azure Marketplace, and trusted by enterprise teams across healthcare, financial services, logistics, and the public sector. We are not a startup experimenting with integration. We are the team that has been doing this — at enterprise scale — for over twenty years.
