    Biztalk - rant of the day

    What a crock.

    Client has lots of data in Excel files they want to consume into Biztalk.

    Does Biztalk natively consume XL files? Nope. You have to save them all as CSV or some other tulip it can cope with.

    Come on. Microsoft Excel - Used to hold data. Microsoft Biztalk - Used to consume, translate and connect data. Can't talk to each other.

    You can however, buy 3rd party (non Microsoft) Biztalk components that can read an XL file.

    Crock.

            are you talking from experience or hearsay ?

            if you're gonna be a tape changer why not be a tape changer for the biggest projects

                These "blue chips". How much do they spend on these IT projects?

                I only seem to get little friendly companies these days who pay me £400/day to sit at home and drink tea and stuff.

                These big "blue chip" contracts sound great. Please tell more.

                    Fair enough point. So what exactly is your involvement in this project then, and why don't you tell those lazy, good-for-nuffin bizTalk consultants to sort it out and write the damn pipeline.
