Coming from another product (Mercator) the feature list that comes out of the BTS box leaves the other compeditors in the dust. I have even heard non BizTalk developers call BTS the best kept secret in Microsoft's arsenal. Even with a list of features, that is not the major selling point, I think that having Microsoft themselves using BTS for their own business processes would add a lot to the 'credibility' of the product. With 2000 and 2002 brought a lot of bad taste in companies mouths, which I still happen upon. I agree with you that the sales force needs training repeatidly (as I still learn more and more features) about the BizTalk features. Eric Stott I think that your thoughts hit it right on the spot.
