About Chris Kabat

Chris Kabat is the Vice President of Connected Business Systems. In this position, he is responsible for overseeing solutions based on Enterprise Integration, Trading Partner Integration and Service Oriented Architecture. Through the use of Microsoft technologies, such as Microsoft BizTalk Server, the CBS service line provides fast and proven patterns for Service Oriented Architecture and Integration Solutions. We believe an intelligent business is driven by connected business systems. However, it’s not enough to just “connect” systems; it must be done in a way that provides an organization the greatest business agility and flexibility. Our approach allows us to use proven architectural patterns and guidance, based on Service Oriented Architecture concepts, to gain that business agility in a fast and efficient manner. Chris serves as a Microsoft Virtual Technology specialist for the Microsoft BizTalk Server product. Not only is this a prestigious distinction within the Microsoft partner community, but it provides MPS Partners a distinct advantage by giving us a direct channel to the Microsoft product group in Redmond, WA. Prior to joining MPS Partners, Chris was a Senior Manager in the Service Oriented Architecture group at WHITTMANHART, a Chicago-based firm. Prior to that, he served as a Product Development Manager at a software company providing financial and student management systems for educational institutions. Chris joined SPR, Inc. in January 2007 as the director of MPS Partners.
