Reviews for this release

Having experienced the pain of manual BizTalk Deployments over the years this framework provides much needed relief and repeatability.

A must have for any BizTalk developer. It makes that late night Production Release a breeze.

Really impressive framework. My initial experiences of BizTalk deployment have been, at best, slow and prone to user (i.e. me) error ... But this makes things a lot easier and more importantly, a lot more automated, which is just what I want
