The story “Convergence: Microsoft moves closer to the Dynamics platform” posted earlier Monday misconstrued the contributions that Dynamics GP and SL will make to the future Dynamics platform.
The corrected eight paragraph now reads:
“What you’re seeing Microsoft doing is starting to form a single platform in order to serve business applications’ needs,” said Yvonne Genovese, vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner. The platform will consist of Dynamics NAV at the low end serving the needs of a maximum of 50 users and Dynamics AX at the high end, she added. Those two products will provide global functionality across all industries. At the same time, Microsoft will continue to come out with new versions of financial services-based Dynamics GP and project-based Dynamics SL, which will remain as products largely focused on the U.S. and English-speaking countries. Much of the intellectual property Microsoft will need for its Dynamics platform to meet the needs of services-based and project-based industries will come from the design in Dynamics GP, she added.
