Microsoft: No acquisitions planned in ERP area
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft, with its hands full integrating its Dynamics ERP (enterprise resource planning) line, does not plan to acquire any of the smaller vendors competing with the software giant in the midmarket area, a senior executive said.
Acquisitions are "not in our plan right now," said Klaus Holse Andersen, the newly appointed corporate vice president for Microsoft Business Solutions Worldwide Sales and Operations, on Tuesday. "We think we have the technology we need." Microsoft sees double-digit growth from medium-size businesses for ERP applications, which can manage anything from payroll to inventory to the supply chain.
