Microsoft to show off new Great Plains, Mobile CRM

Microsoft Business Solutions wants to pump up the volume. That's the implicit--or not so implicit message--MBS and "Microsoft Classic" partners have heard in the months leading into Convergence 2004, the annual MBS customer event next week in Orlando.
Instead of focusing on futures, the Convergence spotlight will be on near-term deliverables including Great Plains Version 8, due to beta soon and to be generally available this summer, sources said. The new financial software will sport an interface mimicking that of Outlook Web Access (OWA). Microsoft executives briefly previewed the new look-and-feel at last year's show.
