Microsoft Business Solutions continues to creep up the software stack. MBS now plans to ship a new version of Axapta, its higher-end ERP offering tailored for life science applications, the company said early Monday.
Axapta 3.0 for Life Sciences is due the first quarter of 2005. Adapted specifically to deal with governmental regulations surrounding pharmaceutical and related industries, it will carry a higher sticker than the core Axapta, although Microsoft is not yet ready to talk price, said Melissa Paulik, MBS' industry product manager for life sciences. The company will add Life Sciences vertical functionality to future Axapta releases typically six months after the core product is updated, Paulik said.
