At its annual Worldwide Partner Conference in Denver yesterday, Microsoft made a few moves to broaden the appeal of its SOA strategy, including the introduction of its SOA & Business Process Pack to be available in September. The new bundle includes a handful of the company's bread-and-butter applications and tools including BizTalk Server 2006, SQL Server 2005, Visual Studio Team System and Office SharePoint Server 2007. Along with this bundle, the company will also offer technical guidance to users, particularly those attempting their first SOA implementation.
