About the Authors
After being lost in the desert for a period of years, bearded, unwashed, and
resembling a nineteenth century politician, Mark Beckner found himself
holding a degree in Computer Science and Information Systems from a small college
in southwestern Colorado. Tearfully leaving behind the innocence of his past,
he immersed himself in the exotic and adventurous world of enterprise application
integration (EAI), .NET development, and Visio diagrams. In a pattern of banality
and madness, he frequents airports, hotel rooms, and fast-food joints, sacrificing
his free time, health, and youth for the immense satisfaction that comes with
increasing the bottom dollar in corporate America.
Benjamin Goeltz (benjamin.goeltz@charteris.com) is a consultant specializing
in the enterprise application integration (EAI) space, with over six years of
experience. Benjamin graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Information
Systems from the University of Washington. He has designed and implemented solutions
for each version of BizTalk Server, deploying solutions integrating both internal
(EAI) and external (Business to Business, or B2B) systems to support mission-critical
business processes. He has also authored content for white papers, help files,
and books related to system integration. He is from Seattle, and currently works
for Charteris (www.charteris.com), a business and IT consulting firm with headquarters
in London.
I'd like to thank my family and friends, who have been extremely
supportive of me reaching for both my professional and personal goals, and
helping me remember that the world is at the same time much bigger and smaller
than it seems.

for medium-to-large enterprise clients in a wide range of industries, including

all versions of BizTalk. Brandon recently architected an A2A solution that received
the 2006 Global Business Process and Integration Technology Innovation Solution
of the Year award from Microsoft. Brandon and his coauthors have created a blogging
site (http://biztalk2006recipebook. blogspot.com/) to discuss concepts from
this book.

I would like to thank the wonderful group of authors and technical reviewers

Graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and a Bachelor of
Arts degree in Drama from the University of Washington, Brennan O'Reilly

Vancouver, Washington, but prefers to call Seattle his home. Brennan has delivered
BizTalk and integration-related projects across a wide array of clients and
industries, including media/imaging, high-tech manufacturing, seafood processing,
and government. Brennan's favorite projects include those with defined
requirements, realistic time frames, and easygoing personalities.

manufacturing, health care, resources, utilities, and government industries,
focusing on lead architect, design, and project management roles. Within the
integration practice, his role is to grow a team of integration architects around

To my family in Australia and my great friends. I'd especially like
to thank my mum, dad, and sisters who always gave me the opportunity. Thanks
also to my fellow authors—you are all incredible people! It's
been a long road, plenty of early mornings, Dilmah tea, and quiet weekends!
Thank you for the support, I owe you all!
