The architects of enterprise integration.
Art2link ESB is the cloud-native evolution of BizTalk, built by the original BizTalk Server architects. We helped Microsoft write the rules of enterprise middleware in the late 1990s. A quarter of a century later, we are rewriting them for the Azure-native era.
We didn’t just learn the rules of enterprise integration. We helped write them.
In the formative years of enterprise middleware, our founders sat inside Microsoft’s elite V-TSP group — the technical specialists who architected, validated, and evangelized BizTalk Server before it shipped. We didn’t adopt BizTalk; we co-defined what an Enterprise Service Bus was supposed to do.
Art2link ESB is the logical continuation of that work. Two and a half decades of architectural DNA — messaging patterns, transformation engines, routing models, governance, observability — lifted out of the on-premises era and rebuilt cloud-first on Microsoft Azure.
BizTalk’s timeline capped at version 2020. The cloud didn’t.
For two decades, BizTalk Server was the backbone of enterprise integration inside the world’s most regulated, mission-critical environments — hospitals, banks, insurers, logistics networks. Then the product roadmap stopped. Microsoft positioned Azure Logic Apps as the future, but Logic Apps was never designed to absorb the governance, transaction tracking, and operational rigor that ESB workloads demand.
We built Art2link ESB to be the missing sequel: traditional ESB governance, scalability, and reliability — running serverless on Azure, configured through a web console, deployed without builds or restarts, and operated from a unified transaction-tracking UI. The platform your BizTalk investment was always going to become.
Built for integration teams who ship, operate, and sleep.
Serverless on Azure
Managed, Azure-native runtime. No Windows fleets to patch. No clusters to babysit. No scaling glue-code. The runtime is the team you no longer need to staff.
Configuration, not code-deploys
Change routing, mapping, validation, and notifications in minutes from the web console. No compiled releases, no build pipelines, near-zero downtime for changes that used to require change windows.
Itinerary-style routing
Itineraries are first-class citizens. Routing and maps match dynamically at runtime, so a single deployment serves dozens of trading-partner variations without forks of the same orchestration.
25 years of architectural excellence, reimagined for the cloud.
While the rest of the industry chases scale, Art2link chooses depth. We operate as a Small Giant — an organization that has deliberately chosen to be great over being big. The result is an unusually senior team that can stay on a problem long enough to actually solve it, and an architecture mature enough to handle the integrations everyone else calls “too complex.”
That posture is why our customer list reads the way it does: BlueCross, Humana, Ascension, Bank of America, IDB, Novo Nordisk, JetBlue, U-Haul, Glatfelter. These organizations don’t buy middleware on a whim. They buy it from people who have seen everything that can go wrong with it.
Verified for Azure. Backed by partnership.
Art2link is engineered on, and validated for, the Microsoft Azure platform. Our team carries the certifications that match the workloads we deploy — Azure Solutions Architect, Azure DevOps, and Security Engineer credentials sit on every customer engagement.
The team that built enterprise integration is the team that operates it.
Art2link is built and operated by an unusually senior team — original BizTalk-era architects working alongside Azure-native engineers, security specialists, and vertical-domain practitioners. Every customer engagement is staffed with senior people. There is no bench rotation, no junior shadow team, no handing the work off after the kickoff call.
Original BizTalk-era architects
Members of Microsoft’s V-TSP group who helped define what an enterprise service bus was supposed to do. The same architects now design the platform that succeeds it.
Azure-native cloud engineers
Certified Azure Solutions Architects, DevOps engineers, and Security engineers who keep the runtime aligned with what the platform is actually doing this quarter — not what it was doing five years ago.
Integration domain experts
Practitioners with deep operational history inside healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, logistics, and insurance. The integrations most teams describe as “too complex” are the ones we have already shipped.
Built by architects. Supported by experts.
Art2link is a Cerebrum City product. Cerebrum City is a global information technology consulting firm specializing in systems integration across BizTalk, SAP, IBM, and Oracle environments, with deep practice areas in healthcare, financial services, and manufacturing.
When you adopt Art2link, you are not buying a tool from a vendor that disappears after a license sale. You gain a long-term partner whose consulting arm has spent two and a half decades inside the kind of environments where integration failure has board-level consequences.
What that partnership means in practice
- ✓ Dedicated migration assessment from BizTalk, MuleSoft, or legacy ESB platforms.
- ✓ Senior architects on every engagement — no junior bench-pad rotation.
- ✓ Tenant-scoped deployment with the encryption, audit, and identity controls regulated workloads require.
- ✓ 24/7 enterprise support tiers with named technical owners.
- ✓ Optional staff augmentation for short-cycle integration delivery.
