Not quit the same, but years back I was to take on the title of "BizTalk consultant". My company and another consulting company had decided that what our customer needed was a BizTalk server.
When the BizTalk implementation broke down and I first needed to look into how it worked and what it did, I found that it just moved a small XML file to an SFTP server and wrote a log entry. So I replaced the entire setup with 50 lines of C#. Luckily my boss was onboard, arguing that we didn't really have the qualifications to do BizTalk.
The idea had originally been that the customer, a harbour, would in the long run need to do a ton of data exchanges with the government organisations and shipping companies. The thing is that they where planing for a future that never really happened.
