Three months after scrapping an effort to integrate its e-commerce, content management, and integration software into one suite of products, Microsoft has decided to forge ahead with another major release of its e-commerce server software, which it expects to release in early 2006.

The successor to Commerce Server 2002 will have an improved user interface, new reporting features, and tighter integration with Microsoft's BizTalk Server and Visual Studio. Net. It will also have a feature that will allow online businesses make order-checking and account information available to their customers.
