MindTree understands the vital role of information sharing in any business. BizTalk Server provides the tools and infrastructure required to exchange business documents among various platforms and operating systems - regardless of the application being used to process the documents. It also provides a standard gateway for sending and receiving documents via the Internet. Thus, BizTalk Server has the potential to change the way business is handled, and assures that the right information is available at the right time.

BizTalk Server connects diverse software, then graphically creates and modifies the process logic that uses that software. It also enables information workers to monitor running processes, interact with trading partners and perform other business-oriented tasks.
