Interview: Doug Burgum on Microsoft's business apps plan
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft spooked business applications customers two years ago with talk of an ambitious strategy to roll together its disparate Microsoft Business Solutions software lines into one converged code base, an initiative called "Project Green." At its Convergence business applications conference this week, MBS head Doug Burgum assured attendees that MBS' five main product lines have years of life remaining.
He mapped MBS strategy in a keynote speech delivered 22 years to the day after he started working at Great Plains. MBS was created several years ago when Microsoft combined business applications development with acquisitions of midmarket ERP (enterprise resource planning) software makers Great Plains and Navision.
