A new addition in BizTalk Server 2006 R2 is support for applications that work with radio frequency
identification (RFID). RFID tags can be attached to pallets in a warehouse, products on a shelf, and
many other things, then used by applications to track the tagged items. To help create these
applications, the latest release of BizTalk Server includes an RFID server.

All of these technologies are useful for connecting applications within a single organization. Most of
them can also be applied to connecting applications

across different organizations. The next section looks at how BizTalk Server 2006 R2 supports this

Business-to-Business Integration
Connecting applications within an organization is important, but connecting applications that span
organizations often brings at least as much value. Figure 3 shows a simple example of this kind of B2B
integration. The customer at the top of the figure runs a BizTalk Server 2006 R2 orchestration that
controls a business process. This process allows the customer to purchase items from two supplier
organizations. Supplier A also uses BizTalk Server 2006 R2, providing indirect access to its ERP
application. Both systems use an appropriate BizTalk adapter to communicate via, say, Web services.
Supplier B uses an integration platform from another vendor, connecting to the purchasing
organization’s BizTalk orchestration using Web services or perhaps some other mechanism.

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is a fundamental part of B2B communication today. Previous
versions of BizTalk Server supported EDI largely through third-party products. With this latest release,
Microsoft has chosen to include broad EDI support in the product itself, along with a tool to help
