Still the one who can find order 48291 — on day one in Azure.
A hundred-plus migrations show the same pattern: the team that built the old system loses visibility first. Join today and we send you The Hidden Monitoring Gap as a welcome bonus, so you don’t.
- Answer in minutes, not meetings — When someone asks where a transaction went, you already have the trace — not three tools, three logins, and an hour reconstructing what BizTalk used to show you on one screen.
- The knowledge that took years, still yours — Every alerting rule you've tuned exists because something went wrong once. This shows you how to carry that institutional memory into Azure instead of re-learning it through new incidents.
- Plus, on joining: The Hidden Monitoring Gap — The 6 domains that decide whether your monitoring survives migration, with a 7-question self-assessment. Score 7 and you are ahead of 95% of migration teams.
Your BizTalk-era judgment doesn't expire at go-live.
You built the instincts that made the old environment predictable — which adapter tends to choke, which alert means something and which means nothing, which transaction to check first when finance calls. None of that moves to Azure automatically.
The teams that keep their edge treat monitoring as something to redesign around what they already know, not rebuild from a blank dashboard. The ones who don’t spend the first eighteen months re-learning, incident by incident, what they used to know cold.
The guide shows where that knowledge needs a new home before go-live. The newsletter keeps building it with you, migration after migration.
Inside the guide
The 6 monitoring domains
The six places your BizTalk-era visibility carries over cleanly — or quietly disappears. Distilled from 100+ migrations, so you find out here instead of in production.
A 7-question self-assessment
Five minutes to see exactly how much of your old control is already secured in Azure. Score 7 and you're ahead of 95% of migration teams.
The async trap
What changes, precisely, about the visibility you're used to having — the moment BizTalk's guaranteed delivery becomes Azure's silent wait.
The numbers
Boliden puts a figure on this kind of control: 10–20 MSEK a year, in stops and wrong-currency invoices avoided — the case for keeping it, made for you.
Azure Monitor vs integration monitoring
Exactly where Azure Monitor's view ends, and where the visibility you're used to has to be deliberately added back.
What to do at your stage
The specific moves — planning, mid-migration, post-go-live — that keep you the person with the answer instead of the one finding out with everyone else.
