Microsoft Dynamics has turned the corner.

This brand, a group of enterprise research platforms united under the Microsoft Business Solutions umbrella, has been bleeding cash and struggling to gain acceptance in the market.

Created in 2001 with the acquisition of Great Plains, and further expanded by the 2002 acquisition of Navision, MBS has been plagued by poor definition and communication of its product strategy.

But according to James Utzschneider, general manager of Microsoft Dynamics marketing, MBS is now "on the cusp of profitability." Utzschneider told internetnews.com that MBS finally achieved profitability in the company's second fiscal quarter of 2006.
