Microsoft BizTalk Licensing cost!!!!

[OutHouse]

Damn, had a meeting with MS today for a new portal roll out. The price for Biztalk per processor is 31K!!!!

Biztalk will be running on 2 machines with dual procs so that 120K just for licensing!!! I work for a large corp so we have the budget for it. But how in the hell can the small guys afford that?

Small guys don't afford it and don't have any need for it. Thats why Why would a small company need an ENTERPRISE server software?
