BizTalk in the Commonwealth Games 2006!

  • Article

We (Microsoft) recently announced that we are the official Technology Partner for the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth games in March. You can check out the announcement here. I have to say though, withouth a doubt the best part of the article reads;

"Microsoft's BizTalk Server and SQL Server will be combined to provide a sophisticated data aggregation solution that will bring together competition results from 20 different venues, which will then be available for publication on the Internet "

Woohoo! Ok, so I am a little biased ;-) Other interesting facts from the article;

  • When not competing, athletes will be able to relax in a special Xbox game zone, where the latest games will ensure the competition continues beyond the official events.
  • Windows Server 2003, along with a broad range of .NET server technologies, will be the base platform for the Games' online operations
  • Microsoft Content Management Server will provide Games officials and journalists with an easy-to-use web based solution for authoring and publishing news and stories about the Games

Hope to see you all there!
