Microsoft updates business software

Microsoft released Monday the first update to business software acquired in its billion-dollar buy of Navision earlier this year. The software giant acquired Navision in July for $1.45 billion as part of its long-planned move into the market for enterprise applications--complex programs designed to help companies do such things as process orders and manage inventory, as well as track customers, suppliers and employees. Microsoft said a new version of Navision's Axapta 3.0, an enterprise resource planning package, includes more features to allow medium-sized companies to conduct business online.
