Short and sweet, here they are: The top five fun facts out of Convergence 2007:

1: Doug Burgum was a chimney sweep before going on to fame and fortune as Great Plains Software CEO and then SVP of Microsoft Business Solutions

2: Fargo will host a Great Plains reunion in mid June. After the Lotus anniversary party, this looks to be the best soiree of the year.

3: Microsoft's Project Green may be dead, but it was dead three years ago when the company outlined is incremental upgrade plan. The company continues to add more shared code to its four ERP lines over time. Great Plains 10.0 workflows will show up in subsequent Axapta, Navision, etc. releases. Solomon's project accounting functionality will likewise be shared by the other ERPs.

.

4: Lynn Stockstad, general manager of Dynamics GP, SL and retail explains the new ERP client menu items. In essence, Microsoft has four price points for ERP users.: The $195 client gets you the general portal for your ERP. You can read and write to some data fields, use the business intelligence and KPIs. "You can change the address in your fields but can't mess with sales transaction data," she notes.

The $395 client adds Microsoft Office SharePoint Server License which means access to workflows. You can route stuff around, search more stuff, use the Excel server applications

The $2,250 business essentials (GL, AP, AR, etc.) remains the same. As does the $3,950 Advanced Financial client. (Adds cash and collections management and other perks.)

5: hmmmm. Lemme think.

After winding up his tenure at Microsoft at the end of this fiscal year, Burgum will make a special guest appearance at the big Randy & Andy bash in Denver at the Worldwide Partner Conference.

А это заметно. На одной давней конференции он старался выглядеть умным и начитанным, но трубочист просвечивал. Слушали его все и думали: "Ну когда же он заткнет фонтан?"

Еще кусочек негатива

R.I.P.: Project Green, 2003-2007

Microsoft's grand unified theory of business processing applications has come to naught. Project Green is either dead or comatose. Whichever, it's another sign that the pieces Microsoft acquired to make up its Dynamics product line simply don't fit well together.


Project Green started making headlines in late summer 2003, a few months before Microsoft made the formal announcement of what was supposed to become a horizontally integrated ERP suite. Project Green would do for ERP applications what bundling did for Office: put together disparate but related applications in a tidy, integrated package and eventually bring them to a single code base.

But Project Green seemed doomed right from its conception, with the horizontal-bundling task running into logistical and management problems. What looked good in concept proved harder to execute, and the channel may have been one of the major reasons.

With the acquisition of products like Great Plains and Navision, Microsoft also picked up existing sales channels that were as disparate as the products. Since then, Microsoft has struggled to integrate the disparate sales channels into existing programs and processes. Even today, Dynamics products are sold differently than every other Microsoft desktop or server application.

Ну микрософт говорит, что-то вроде того, что грин это теперь дайнамикс -- то есть решили вместо построения с нуля сделать единый продукт путём смешения прикупленных приложений и еще того, что было в Грине.

вроде и архитектор раньше грином занимался

Хм, идеи заложенные в проекте грин живут и процветают, если говорить о проекте грин в его первоначальном смысле, конечно

Объясните кто-нить, что это значит. Это что, новые опции лицензирования такие? Можно будет купить отдельно, скажем, пару лицензий Advanced Financial за $3950 и отдельно (для той же инсталляции) лицензию за $195 для пользователей, которые будут только справочники набивать? А что вот это значит?

Цитата:

85% of the employees in organizations that have deployed an ERP system are not licensed to use the data and information managed by these systems

Это как вообще? Раньше лицензии были на программы, а теперь еще - на использование информации, которую эти программы генерят?
