At its heart, ITX is a data transformation engine.  Other parts of the product, such as the Launcher, add functionality that duplicate some or all of the functions of other products, such as the routing capabilities of IIB.

IIB is a mature middleware product and has features not currently found in the ITX Launcher, such as the ability to deploy message flows without having to stop the main flow engine (and other flows).  The mapping engine however, leaves a bit to be desired in terms of usability and functionality though.

It is for this reason that IIB and ITX make such good partners in most business environments.  Use IIB for enterprise class routing of business data, and use ITX inside IIB (using the ITX node) to simplify your complicated mapping requirements.

Thank you.

Paul.
