After the big AMR conference there were a lot of articles about Oracle's Project Fusion, the attempt to bring together the code of all their acquisitions plus their own applications into one working system, . A couple of good examples of this discussion are here and here. You have to expect this type of commentary considering the size and ambition of Oracle and the complexity of trying to pull together Oracle apps with PeopleSoft and JD Edwards into one. Damn, I give them huge props just for trying something like that. But what about the other project fusion. Last I looked Microsoft owns Solomon, Navision and Great Plains. What's the story there, are they going to just keep selling 3 highly adopted mid-market accounting solutions? That's hard to believe. And on top of this, they have also said that they want to change the delivery of these to on-demand software, thus the name change to Dynamics a few weeks ago. Besides the fusion and the changeover to the Software as a service, or SaaS, delivery, there has also been some talk of integrating the CRM product, as well as Office. Now there's a Fusion project a guy could really get his teeth into. Strange that you hear so little about it anymore? Why the silence? Oracle's investors and analysts want to know what's happening, but where the Microsoft crowd? What can Solomon owners expect in the next few years? |
