Following the direction of Project Green Advanced Appointment Booking System Microsoft Business Solutions renamed its products: Microsoft Great Plains, Navision, Axapta, Solomon and MS CRM into Microsoft Dynamics GP, Nav, Ax, Sl, CRM. Microsoft Dynamics will be supposedly final product of the Project Green, when user will have access to all the business components through similar interface. At this point (fall of 2005) we do not know exactly how interface will look like, but some directions could be predicted.
Microsoft Outlook interface. In September 2005 Microsoft released Small Business Accounting, entry level accounting application, written from scratch. Obviously now it is not a time to reinvent the wheel/create new accounting package... however if you are Microsoft... Microsoft has its users and professionals legions who are very comfortable in Microsoft Office products and who spend a lot of computer time in MS Outlook. Small Business Accounting allows users to create and synchronize accounting documents in MS Outlook (not all of them, but the innovation way is clear - user should be able to work with business application from MS Outlook). This might be very good argument against non-Microsoft systems: Oracle eBusiness/Financials, PeopleSoft, IBM Lotus Notes/Domino, JD Edwards - who do not have simple unification for user interface
