InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft next week will detail plans to push out technology designed to simplify software integration and to support increased collaboration capabilities for users of its business applications. At its Convergence 2003 conference in Orlando , Microsoft will try to sell users on the idea that its applications can be used to integrate various business processes, said Lynne Stockstad, general manager of global solutions at the company's Business Solutions Unit.
For example, companies could link their employees and business partners in automated workflows that support customer relationship management (CRM), supply chain operations and other activities, Stockstad said.
