MS splits Project Green into two waves

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.
