At my last place of employment, I used BTS quite a bit. However, I've noticed that managers often want to use it for the wrong things, and developers are hesitant to adopt it.

So, I'm just wondering, how's BTS being used? Please post experiences, not theories. Thanks!

I've worked as a consultant for one the largest oil/energy companies in Europe and they basically use BizTalk for all their messaging/integration stuff. Examples are: Invoices (electronic invoices) sent from and to partners in different formats, sync jobs between AD and third party software that maintains it's own username db and integration between support system and external customers via e-mail. So they have a pretty broad adoption of BizTalk and use a cluster of 5 servers.

We have a few dozen applications that need to interact. We have a single web service based application which controls passing messages between systems. Other systems talk to it and receive messages from it via BizTalk orchestrations etc.
