MS Connects Office and Back-Office Apps

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the one-stop-shopping dept.

Robert writes to tell us CBR Online is reporting that Microsoft has released a new set of tools to link up their back-office applications with Office 2003. From the article: "The Microsoft Dynamics Snap tools allow users to interact with data and processes within Dynamics AX 3.0 (Axapta), and Dynamics CRM 3.0 without leaving Office, by taking small components from the back office applications and snapping them into the Office environment. The initial release delivers four applications. Timesheet Snap-In and Vacation Management Snap-In, which are built for Dynamics AX only, and two versions of Business Data Lookup Snap-In, one each for Dynamics AX and Dynamics CRM."

      When I talk about snap-in's(tm) I am referring to a new paradigm of holistic .NET(tm) applications and tools that click in to our LIVE(tm) systems in a synergistic way to provide a seamless E-interface(tm) that addresses "Middleware to Middleware Conversations"(tm) and allows the developer and the E-developer to leverage the .NET(tm) platform and the LIVE(tm) platform to their fullest extent therefore improving productivity fully and reducing TCO to a level well below Linux(tm).

    You submitted your story in the wrong place. You need to go here. Don't forget to include your credit card or paypal number. I think the going rate for a mainpage story is about $1000.
