Microsoft is pulling the plug on its Microsoft Business Network but plans to roll its EDI-like functionality into business applications, the company confirmed Thursday.
The Redmond, Wash.-based software giant last month had announced its plan to shut down MBN on the network's newsgroup site. Though MBN will cease to operate, the company insisted that it's not dead. Instead, Microsoft aims to expand the network's functionality into future versions of its business management applications, including Axapta 4.0.
