The task of aligning Microsoft's collection of business applications around a common technology stack will happen in two distinct stages, Microsoft Senior Vice President Doug Burgum said Monday in a keynote address opening the company's Convergence conference, in San Diego.
A "first wave" of applications will begin shipping this year, while a "second wave" is scheduled to commence in 2008, leading to a converged code base, Burgum said. ... Microsoft announced plans to combine its major business applications -- Axapta, Great Plains, Solomon, Navision and Microsoft CRM -- on one code base, dubbed "Project Green." The company initially put Project Green on an ambitious development path and forecast deliverables as early as 2004, but in the past year Microsoft has extended its development window and scaled back expectations. Microsoft now sees the convergence of its business applications as a more gradual and incremental process. Each of the five software lines will have a major "wave one" overhaul within the next year, Burgum said. That update will bring a shared user interface to all the applications and better integrate them with other Microsoft technologies like its SharePoint portal software and SQL Server reporting tools. Starting in 2008, Microsoft expects to release "second wave" updates moving the applications toward a common code base and a shared, model-driven business process architecture. Those second-wave updates will be integrated with Microsoft's forthcoming Longhorn operating system update, which isn't due until 2006, and its still-in-development Microsoft Office 12 upgrade. ... Microsoft will talk more next year about its second-wave plans, Burgum said. For now, Microsoft Business Solutions is focusing on the next updates in each of its applications lines. Most of those aren't due until late 2005. Microsoft said it will release Microsoft Axapta (Overview, Articles, Company) 3.0 Service Pack 4 in the second quarter of this year and Navision 4.01 in the third. In the fourth quarter of the year, Microsoft plans to release Great Plains 8.5, Solomon 6.5 and a beta version of Axapta 4.0; a release-to-manufacturing version of Axapta 4.0 is scheduled for the first half of 2006. The next version of Microsoft CRM is slated for a late 2005 release-to-manufacturing. Подробнее... http://www.infoworld.com/article/05/03/07/...ectgreen_1.html |

Microsoft Has a New MBS Game Plan
Microsoft is rejiggering its roadmap for its family of Microsoft Business Solutions (MBS) ERP and CRM offerings. At the annual MBS Convergence customer conference here, Microsoft executives on Monday outlined the latest roadmap for its Axapta, Great Plains, Navision, Solomon, Microsoft CRM and other related wares. The biggest — and most confusing — change is around Microsoft's Project Green. At last year's Convergence show, Microsoft officials were not keen on talking about Green. This year, Microsoft's MBS brass are delivering a new, evolutionary Green message and timetable. The unified Green platform, as of last year, was slated to arrive by 2008. But now Microsoft isn't talking about a unified platform at all. Instead, it is talking about two different Green "waves" via which it will make more of its existing ERP offerings look and work more similarly.

"There may become a time in the future when Microsoft Business Solutions has the platform to make applications available as hosted services," Burgum said, during a question-and-answer session with reporters and analysts Monday.
... Burgum went on to say that he didn't think the demand for hosted application services was that significant despite the success of Salesforce.com, which has racked up 13,900 customers and 227,000 users for its hosted CRM (customer relationship management) application service since launching the service five years ago.

Green and Bear It
"I guess it really ain't easy being green," mused the Mouser, mimicking Kermit the Frog, as he prowled the San Diego Convention Center for the Microsoft Convergence conference. Подробнее... http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,17753...3129TX1K0000609 |

My understanding of Green is that the suite of applications will be based on a global code base, with the middleware layer the Microsoft Business Framework, which builds on top of .Net Framework. Is that correct, and how does the current set of business applications fit into Green?
What you described Green as is correct. Подробнее... http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1500107,00.asp |

Новый оттенок "зеленого проекта"
Инициатива Project Green изначально характеризовалась Microsoft как проект создания принципиально новой программной платформы, объединяющей в себе функциональность всех нынешних бизнес-приложений подразделения Microsoft Business Solutions (MBS) и интегрированной с остальным ассортиментом продуктов Microsoft, включая Office 12. Одна из ключевых целей проекта состояла в приведении всех компонентов к единой кодовой базе. Однако по-видимому, создание новой бизнес-системы с нуля оказалось не под силу даже для Microsoft, да и заказчики MBS начали тянуть с покупками в ожидании плодов нового проекта. В связи с этим представители корпорации недавно объявили, что Project Green переквалифицируется в исследовательский проект, результаты которого по мере их появления будут интегрироваться в существующие продуктовые линейки MBS. Согласно новой стратегии, развитие Project Green делится на два этапа. Первый из них, который продлится до 2007 года, заключается в разработке единого пользовательского интерфейса, схожего с продуктами типа Outlook, реализации поддержки порталов и технологии совместной работы на основе Web-сервисов, а также функций, которые обеспечат возможность использования в приложениях средств аналитики и отчетности Microsoft. На втором этапе будет проведена оценка каждой из линеек продуктов MBS, по результатам которой планируется отобрать наилучшие процессы, реализуемые каждым из них. Результаты будут отражены в приложениях MBS после 2008 года. Источник... http://www.osp.ru/news/soft/2005/03/18_01.htm |

'Green' Reaching for Larger Businesses
Moving up to the Project Green technology will require moving up to the next version of the SQL Server database, code-named Yukon, to get the BI functionality in Green, and moving up to the next version of Windows to take advantage of Microsoft's next-generation Web services, code-named Indigo, officials said.
