Microsoft details E-Biz integration
eWeek | at | by Mike
Microsoft Corp. last week detailed its plans to integrate its line of e-business software in an effort to make the applications more easily customizable while still feature-rich. Project Jupiter, which was introduced at the Microsoft Exchange Conference in Anaheim, Calif., calls for the development of tools that integrate Microsoft's Content Management Server, BizTalk Server and Commerce Server.
Jupiter will focus on four core design features. The first is providing the ability for users to create and extend business processes both inside and outside their organizations. The second addresses interoperability, or enabling companies to integrate with third-party applications. It will do this with support for Web services, so new applications built using XML will be easy to integrate.
