There is increased support for UDM cubes and scalable real-time aggregations for use with Business Intelligence platforms such as PerformancePoint.

BizTalk Server 2009 also brings in several improvements to the underlying Visual Studio-based BizTalk development environment, which improves debugging support in areas such as BizTalk Maps (using XSLT), pipeline components and XLANG Orchestrations, and allows for unit testing via Visual Studio Test.

In addition, BizTalk Server 2009 talks to Team Foundation Server (TFS), allowing Dev teams to make use of integrated source control, bug tracking, team development support, integration with Project Server, and support for automating builds using MSBuild.
