Hi Micheal, Feel free to update, the BizTalk architect is also known as integrasjon architect, ill update that as well. Pluss add some more information regarding advisors.

I think many more seasoned BizTalk professional act as consultants nowadays. I have changed the advisor topic in this article into BizTalk consultant.
Hi Guys
Just added what i think are the differences between integration architect and biztalk technical architect but also that there are some overlap in a lot of cases.
Let me know what you think
Mike
