BlueIntegrator 2.0 is developed to be an interesting as well as helpful tool which allows you to connect disparate systems, applications and business entities, and automate rules and workflows upon them. For example you can connect your customers, suppliers and back-end systems to fully automate an order processing scenario. Once connected, the overall value of your IT infrastructure becomes much greater than the sum of the parts, and real cost savings and service improvements can generally be identified. 

BlueIntegrator gets your enterprise talking, and helps you flexibly manage and monitor your business processes - it can truly help you achieve a Service Oriented Architecture. Support for XML and Web Services is strong, but BlueIntegrator also provides extensive functionality to get your legacy applications communicating - format support includes AS2, EDI, and HL7.
