This chart summarizes Microsoft’s core enterprise resource planning
(ERP) product lineup. As of this writing, all of Microsoft’s ERP products are
available only through Microsoft Business Solutions (MBS) resellers and partners, although
it is possible that some of these products may follow MSCRM into the broader Microsoft
licensing channel in 2004.
The chart lists points of integration between the ERP line and other
Microsoft products. In some cases, the integration listed will be realized in 2004: for
example, Axapta does not integrate with FRx or Project today, but will in 2004 according
to Microsoft.
Revenue numbers in the Target Market column are per annum in U.S.
dollars.
