System Integration
20 years of award winning integration excellence forms the foundation of our value proposition to customers. System Integration by nVisionIT’s approach focuses on achieving measurable progress in achieving business objectives, not on positioning a particular platform or product.
The advent of cloud has radically changed the approach to system integration in Australia. Large parts, if not all, of your integration can now live in the cloud and benefit from the associated cost, performance and reliability benefits. nVisionIT’s extensive experience in integration helps our customers plan how to migrate existing integration to the cloud as well as build new ones from scratch.

Biztalk to Cloud Migration
There are several reasons to migrate to the Cloud. Azure PaaS (Platform as a Service) provides integration services for every need. In South Africa, nVisionIT is well-positioned as the integration vendor of choice being a multiple Application Integration Partner of the year as well as an Azure Cloud Service Provider.
We take care of your BizTalk migration to Azure Serverless components. An assessment of your existing BizTalk implementation and your business requirements enables us to create your BizTalk to Cloud roadmap, tailor made for your specific needs. BizTalk migration, if not well executed, can affect your business. It is essential to select the right vendor for this process.
nVisionIT has been implementing BizTalk since 2003 and has developed a platform to assist in managing risk in migrating to Cloud which facilitates incremental migration. For more information please see SuperSimple Integration.
Top reasons to migrate BizTalk to the Cloud:
- BizTalk version support and end of life (BizTalk 2016 support will end in 2022).
- Improved security with Azure Security (prevents/identifies threats) and Azure Active Directory.
- Increased availability with PaaS or Virtual Machines Hosted in multiple data centres across availability zones in South Africa and globally
- Improved scalability
- Pay per usage improves cash flow
- No server infrastructure to maintain
- Simpler integration with other web applications
- Facilitates the use of Azure Cognitive Services as well as the ability to process and analyse larger amounts of data with HDInsight, Data Factory and CosmosDB to assist in decision making.
- Up-to-date technology (REST/JSON in Azure Functions vs SOAP in BizTalk)
- Hybrid-Cloud with last mile integration simplified through nVisionIT’s SuperSimple Integration
The migration process
Assessment
The assessment provides visibility into your current situation and business drivers with regards to:
- Business impact (load, business risk, business requirements etc.)
- Patterns (integration types – point to point, SQL polling, file drop etc.)
- Protocols (https, ftp, sockets etc.)
- Security (server patching, end points, authentication, isolation etc.)
- Infrastructure (firewalls & configuration, scalability, hardware etc.)
Design
Understanding your business requirement and integration environment allows us to design a Cloud or Hybrid Cloud solution for your business needs utilizing Azure technologies that fit the purpose, including Azure Functions, Azure Logic Apps, Azure Service Bus, Azure Security Centre, API Management, App Insights and Azure Active Directory.
Azure Virtual Machines can provide benefits such as disaster recovery and high availability in a lift and shift migration for on premise solutions to Virtual Machine based cloud solutions Azure PaaS utilizing Hybrid Cloud solutions can utilize either Azure VM’s or Azure PaaS in combination with nVisionIT’s SuperSimple Integration platform to create a Hybrid Cloud integration solution with last mile integration into on premise BizTalk and legacy systems and non-cloud ready solution enabling your business to leverage the benefits integration in the cloud now.
Proof of Concept
We take you on the journey with us making sure that business drivers and risk are understood and managed. Using POC’s we test the highest risk components of your BizTalk migration first, mitigating risk during the process.
