BizTalk Migration Investment Calculator
Analyze your current BizTalk landscape and calculate the investment required to migrate to Frends, including potential savings from a modern integration platform.
Inputs
- Number of orchestrations in your BizTalk environment
- Number of send ports configured
- Number of receive locations configured
- Current developer hourly rate (EUR)
- Current BizTalk monthly license cost (EUR)
What you get
- Integration complexity analysis (simple, typical or complex)
- Estimated migration effort in hours and total migration cost
- Recommended Frends tier (Growth, Business or Enterprise) and estimated monthly cost
- Annual license savings range and development savings (50% faster delivery with Frends)
- Total annual savings range, migration payback period and 3-year ROI
How effort is estimated
Migration effort is calculated as roughly 3 days per orchestration plus 0.5 days per send port or receive location, multiplied by an integration complexity factor. BizTalk licensing is assumed to be 20-30% more expensive than the equivalent Frends configuration. Development on Frends is assumed to be 50% faster than traditional BizTalk development.
Why change your BizTalk environment now, not in 2028?
Don't let BizTalk's end of life disrupt your business. Companies relying on BizTalk must start planning their migration now and modernize their systems.
- Rising maintenance costs — Escalating licensing fees and infrastructure maintenance expenses.
- Skill shortage — Difficulty finding and retaining skilled BizTalk developers.
- Limited cloud capabilities — Lack of native cloud features and modern scaling options.
- Complex deployments — Time-consuming deployment processes and scaling challenges.
- Technical debt — Accumulating legacy code and outdated integration patterns.
- Modern API gaps — Limited support for modern API management and microservices.
The cost of staying behind
Organizations using legacy BizTalk systems typically spend 25-40% more on integration maintenance compared to modern platforms, while missing out on cloud-native benefits and faster time-to-market.
- 25-40% higher maintenance costs
- 3x longer development cycles
- 60% more deployment complexity
