Microsoft offers an E-Business Server 2002 line of products
(BizTalk® Server 2002, Commerce Server® 2002, and Content
Management Server® 2002) that enable companies to integrate
enterprise applications, exchange information with business
partners, and develop comprehensive solutions for managing online
business and web content. International support is built-in in these three servers. The
paper will give an architecture overview and explain the features
of each product. In particular, the paper will highlight the
globalization and localization aspects such as Unicode compliance,
legacy code pages support for Enterprise Application Integration
(EAI), and infrastructure for multi-lingual web sites. We will
demonstrate how business to consumer (B2C), business to business
(B2B), and enterprise portal scenarios with partners located across
the world can be implemented. These products can easily be deployed worldwide and satisfy
needs of international customers. At the end of the talk we will
preview future globalization features (MUI and more languages) in
the coming releases. |
