Совсем официальное заявление о переносе сроков

New release date announced for Microsoft Axapta 4.0

As part of our commitment to provide outstanding value in Microsoft Business Solutions–Axapta 4.0, we've decided to include functionality and improvements beyond the enhancements originally planned.

While the delay may present partners and customers with some challenges, this extra time will help ensure the best possible functionality—functionality that addresses customer requests and exceeds market expectations—as well as a highly tested, top-quality release.

Highlights of the enhanced functionality planned for Microsoft Axapta 4.0:

• Improved Web service capabilities
  
• Enhanced collaboration and integration functionality
  
• Commitment to ISV-enabling capabilities
  
• Improved Microsoft SQL Server integration

What Project Green will mean

With a dozen years' experience at Microsoft Corp., Satya Nadella has been put in charge of the company's Project Green initiative, which was first announced in 2003. The aim of the project is to rearchitect Microsoft's business application offerings under a common, service-oriented architecture.

MS splits Project Green into two waves

A "first wave" of applications will begin shipping this year, while a "second wave" is scheduled to commence in 2008, leading to a converged code base, Burgum said.

Microsoft announced plans to combine its major business applications -- Axapta, Great Plains, Solomon, Navision and Microsoft CRM -- on one code base, dubbed "Project Green." The company initially put Project Green on an ambitious development path and forecast deliverables as early as 2004, but in the past year Microsoft has extended its development window and scaled back expectations.

Starting in 2008, Microsoft expects to release "second wave" updates moving the applications toward a common code base and a shared, model-driven business process architecture. Those second-wave updates will be integrated with Microsoft's forthcoming Longhorn operating system update, which isn't due until 2006, and its still-in-development Microsoft Office 12 upgrade.

О ближайших релизах
Microsoft will talk more next year about its second-wave plans, Burgum said. For now, Microsoft Business Solutions is focusing on the next updates in each of its applications lines. Most of those aren't due until late 2005. Microsoft said it will release Microsoft Axapta (Overview, Articles, Company) 3.0 Service Pack 4 in the second quarter of this year and Navision 4.01 in the third. In the fourth quarter of the year, Microsoft plans to release Great Plains 8.5, Solomon 6.5 and a beta version of Axapta 4.0; a release-to-manufacturing version of Axapta 4.0 is scheduled for the first half of 2006. The next version of Microsoft CRM is slated for a late 2005 release-to-manufacturing.

ERP Convergence Plans
...
The road map unveiled last week includes waves of increasingly converged code as the company tries to reach a unified ERP foundation. The newly vocalized plan is less "big bang" and more evolutionary, partners said.
...
Of the company's four lines--Axapta, Great Plains, Navision and Solomon--Axapta, which focuses on the higher end of the midmarket, is seen as Microsoft's best answer to SAP and Oracle applications.

The current Axapta 3.0 will get a service pack later this month that includes SQL Server reporting services and other perks. Axapta 4.0 will add service management capabilities for manufacturing companies, support for long and complex sales cycles, Outlook integration, RFID support and more SharePoint integration. SQL Server reporting services will be built in.

Version 4.0 also will support two-way interaction with .Net applications. The 4.0 SDK will include the 300 most common Axapta language classes, covering "99 percent of scenarios" so developers can write add-ons, said Mark Jensen, Axapta general manager. The update also will allow .Net applications or any language running under Microsoft's Common Language Runtime (CLR) engine to make calls into those classes. Sometime later, Axapta's native X++ language will be supported in the CLR, he said.

Axapta 4.0 will continue to offer its own CRM functions as well as tighter integration with Microsoft CRM.

Microsoft Details Tools Delay

While Microsoft Corp. has been mum about its upcoming Microsoft Business Framework for the last year, the team has been hard at work on a 2007 release.

Darren Laybourn, general manager, Microsoft Business Framework, said the delivery of MBF is taking longer than anticipated because of dependencies the framework has on other technologies in development.

...

Part of the reason for the delay in completing MBF is the decision to move the WinFS subsystem out of "Longhorn," Laybourn said.
