A new blog site on BizTalk Administration is born. Why? BizTalk administrators have a strong urge to share their knowledge with each other. The BizTalk community is strong and shares an incredible amount of knowledge through blogs, wiki's, presentations and other channels. Yet the focus is strong on development and less on administration. Development is cool and very popular. Is administration dull and less appealing?

No, not at all. BizTalk administrators play a crucial role in running and maintaining a BizTalk environment. They are responsible to deploy BizTalk environments and applications, monitoring, upgrades, migrations, and all other kinds of administrative tasks like backup/recovery, availability and so on.

Jeroen Hendriks (Axon Olympus) is owner of this new blog for administrators. He is the driver of this initiative to have a blog for BizTalk administrators to share their knowledge and experiences. I am one of the contributors and any other BizTalk professional with a heart for administration and desire to share his or her knowledge/experience is welcome. Contact Jeroen through this website to sign-up for contributor. 

As one of the contributors of this blog I am looking forward to work with Jeroen and other future contributors. I strongly believe in the initiative he has started and hope this will be a success.
