About Cerebrum City

The architects of enterprise integration.

Cerebrum City builds Art2link ESB - the cloud-native evolution of BizTalk. Our founders helped write the rules of enterprise integration; two decades on, we’re rewriting them for Azure.

The Authority

We didn’t just learn the rules of enterprise integration. We helped write them.

Our founders sat inside Microsoft’s elite V-TSP group - the specialists who architected and validated BizTalk Server before it shipped. We didn’t adopt BizTalk; we helped define what an ESB should do.

Art2link ESB is the continuation of that work: two decades of architectural DNA - messaging, transformation, routing, governance, observability - rebuilt cloud-first on Microsoft Azure.

Why we built it

BizTalk’s timeline capped at version 2020. The cloud didn’t.

For two decades, BizTalk Server ran integration inside the most regulated environments - hospitals, banks, insurers, logistics. Then its roadmap stopped. Microsoft pointed to Logic Apps, but it was never built for the governance, transaction tracking, and operational rigor ESB workloads demand.

Art2link ESB is the missing sequel: traditional ESB governance and reliability, running serverless on Azure - configured in a web console, deployed without builds, and operated from a unified tracking UI.

What sets Art2link apart

Built for integration teams who ship, operate, and sleep.

Serverless on Azure

Managed, Azure-native runtime - no Windows fleets to patch, no clusters to babysit, no scaling glue-code.

Configuration, not code-deploys

Change routing, mapping, and validation in minutes from the web console - no builds, no pipelines, near-zero downtime.

Itinerary-style routing

Itineraries are first-class. Routing and maps match dynamically, so one deployment serves dozens of partner variations - no orchestration forks.

The philosophy

20 years of architectural excellence, reimagined for the cloud.

While the industry chases scale, we choose depth. Cerebrum City is a Small Giant - deliberately great over big. The result: an unusually senior team that stays on a problem long enough to actually solve it.

It’s why our customer list reads the way it does - BlueCross, Humana, Bank of America, IDB, Novo Nordisk, JetBlue, U-Haul, Glatfelter. They don’t buy middleware on a whim; they buy it from people who have seen everything that can go wrong with it.

Engineered with Microsoft

Verified for Azure. Backed by partnership.

Engineered on and validated for Microsoft Azure. Our team carries the credentials that match the workloads - Azure Solutions Architect, DevOps, and Security Engineer - on every engagement.

The team

The team that built enterprise integration is the team that operates it.

Cerebrum City is an unusually senior team - Microsoft V-TSP consultants alongside Azure-native engineers, security specialists, and domain practitioners. Every engagement is staffed with senior people. No bench rotation, no junior shadow team.

Microsoft V-TSP consultants

Members of Microsoft’s V-TSP group who helped define the ESB - now designing the platform that succeeds it.

Azure-native cloud engineers

Certified Azure Solutions Architects, DevOps, and Security engineers who keep the runtime aligned with Azure as it is now - not five years ago.

Integration domain experts

Practitioners with deep history in healthcare, finance, manufacturing, logistics, and insurance. The integrations others call “too complex” are the ones we have already shipped.

Part of the Cerebrum City family

Built by architects. Supported by experts.

Cerebrum City is a global IT consultancy specializing in systems integration across BizTalk, SAP, IBM, and Oracle - with deep practice areas in healthcare, financial services, and manufacturing.

Adopt Art2link and you are not buying a tool from a vendor that vanishes after the license sale - you gain a partner whose consulting arm has spent two decades where integration failure has board-level consequences.

What that partnership means in practice

  • Dedicated migration assessment from BizTalk, MuleSoft, or legacy ESB platforms.
  • Senior architects on every engagement - no junior bench-pad rotation.
  • Tenant-scoped deployment with the encryption, audit, and identity controls regulated workloads require.
  • 24/7 enterprise support tiers with named technical owners.
  • Optional staff augmentation for short-cycle integration delivery.
