Microsoft adds to its applications stable
eWeek | at | by Mike
Microsoft continued to add to its growing stable of applications software on Tuesday by adding two new "industry solutions" to its Microsoft Business Solutions portfolio. At its Stampede 2002 reseller conference here this week, Microsoft unveiled a Professional Services Automation (PSA) and point-of-sale Retail Management System to its Great Plains/Navision/bCentral family of products and services. These two solutions are similar to a number of other vertically-targeted "accelerator" bundles that Microsoft is selling through its solution-provider partners. Both bundles are aimed at "business decision makers" in small businesses, mid-size users and low-end corporate customers, company officials said.
