Art2link ESB is the integration layer between the enterprise systems you already run
— SAP, Oracle, Dynamics 365, Salesforce,
ServiceNow, Workday, mainframes, and the long tail of custom apps. Configuration-driven
integrations, idempotent semantics, end-to-end tracking, and 200+ adapters out of the
box. The systems stay where they are; the connections between them move into a managed
Azure-native runtime.
Different industries, different ERPs, same operational patterns. If two or more of these sound familiar, the cost is real even if the symptoms aren’t obvious yet.
Each new system added means N new bespoke integrations. The map of "what talks to what" exists only in tribal knowledge.
A version bump on the ERP breaks twelve downstream integrations. The integration team becomes the bottleneck for every system upgrade.
Every integration is built from scratch. The team rebuilds the same retry-and-DLQ logic for each new flow because there’s nothing to copy.
When a record doesn’t arrive, nobody can answer "where is it?" without engineers digging through logs across three systems.
Every Art2link integration maps to one of these patterns. Configure the pattern, plug in the endpoints, and the platform handles the messaging discipline. Hover any pattern to see a real use case and the implementation specifics.
One system updates another. Request-reply with idempotency tokens, retry policies, and DLQ. The 80% case — SAP master-data → downstream.
One event source, many subscribers. Service Bus topics with per-subscriber filters, retention, and replay. Decouples producers from consumers.
Scheduled extraction from N sources, transformation, load to target. Cron-driven or event-triggered. Handles historical reloads and incremental deltas alike.
Real-time events flow continuously. Each event is processed independently. Latency in milliseconds; throughput scales horizontally with App Service plan.
One request triggers calls to multiple downstream systems; responses aggregate into a single reply. Useful when one front-end action needs data from 2-3 back-end systems.
Replicate database changes downstream without batch windows. CDC streams from source DB log files, applied to target with ordering and conflict resolution.
Pre-built adapters and validated profiles for the major enterprise platforms. Hover any system to see specific adapter capabilities.
Modernization is a wave program, not a big-bang. Existing point-to-point integrations keep running. Art2link replaces them flow-by-flow against a pattern catalog you inventory and prioritize first.
Total elapsed time on a mid-complexity estate lands in the 4–6 month range. The Inventory phase produces a concrete estimate before the rest of the program commits.
A Fortune 500 manufacturer replaced 147 point-to-point integrations across SAP S/4HANA, Salesforce, Workday, and a JDE legacy with 22 reusable Art2link itineraries — cutting per-change deployment time from 3 weeks to under an hour.
A specialty insurer consolidated 11 legacy ESB hops across mainframe and Dynamics 365 onto a single Art2link runtime — with 97% reuse of the underlying transformation logic, and the mainframe stayed in production.
An Art2link senior architect inventories your top integrations, classifies them against the six patterns, and returns a written modernization plan: which flows to tackle first, expected timeline, infrastructure-cost comparison, and a phased roll-out wave plan.
BizTalk Migration is the specific case of moving an integration estate off BizTalk Server 2020. System Integration is the broader, ongoing practice of how your enterprise systems exchange data. If you’re on BizTalk today, BizTalk Migration is the entry point; System Integration is what your team operates after the migration, and what new integrations get built on top of going forward.
Yes. Custom logic translates either as Art2link itinerary configuration (the common case) or as deployable .NET function packages (for genuinely bespoke transforms). The Inventory phase identifies which customizations need re-implementation and which carry forward as configuration. Most environments find that 80–90% of "custom" logic is actually configuration once you peel back the boilerplate.
Yes. Art2link itself runs in Azure, but it connects equally to on-premises systems via private endpoints, ExpressRoute, or VPN. Mainframe, on-prem SAP, legacy AS/400, and air-gapped systems all participate via the appropriate transport. Many customers run a hybrid topology for years during cloud migration.
MuleSoft and Boomi are general iPaaS products; both are capable but force a per-flow or per-message pricing model that becomes punitive at enterprise volume. Art2link is built on Azure App Service in your tenant — pricing scales with infrastructure, not message count — and includes the governance discipline that iPaaS tools typically defer to "your problem." Workato is workflow-automation-first; Art2link is enterprise-integration-first.
Fully supported via the SAP JCo bridge. RFC and tRFC for synchronous and queued calls, IDoc for both inbound and outbound document flows, BAPI for function-module orchestration. S/4HANA OData v4 endpoints are first-class. The adapter handles connection pooling, authentication (user-based or X.509), and EBCDIC ↔ UTF-8 conversion where mainframe interop is in the mix.
