Microsoft drives toward one code base
eWeek | at | by Mike
Project Green aims to bring enterprise applications, including Great Plains and Navision, into a single unified .NET architecture. Microsoft is working on its latest, best shot at the enterprise applications business with a new project to create a single, global code base for its product lines.
"Project Green" is the Redmond, Wash., company's effort to deliver all its business applications, from its Great Plains Software Inc., Navision A/S, Axapta (which Navision bought earlier) and Solomon Software (which Great Plains had acquired) lines, on a single code base built on the Microsoft Business Framework and .Net Framework. Revamped "Green" applications are planned to debut in the 2006 "Longhorn" time frame.
