Microsoft announces future road map for Dynamics GP

Microsoft announced last week at it's Worldwide Partner Conference in Denver the future road map for Dynamics GP.

The major goal of Microsoft’s product development road map is to help protect the investments of customers by helping them gradually move to the new Microsoft Dynamics platform while realizing the benefits of breakthrough technology innovations along the way.

Microsoft’s aggressive road map showcases the continued investment in and focus on Microsoft Dynamics GP. Since 2005, Microsoft has been on a 12-18 months major release cycle. Beginning with Microsoft Dynamics GP 11.0, there will be a transition to a 2-year major release cycle, with an extension release between versions. Individual product lines within the Microsoft Dynamics solutions family will continue until at least 2013.

Key development pillars continue to focus on driving maximum benefit for customers in the areas of: ease of use, easy integration with other systems, empowered users and informed enterprise. Focus on these development areas is aided by the tremendous synergy of other Microsoft Technologies, specifically: Microsoft SQL server, the Microsoft Office system and Office SharePoint Server 2007.

What does this mean to you as a customer? It means a clear roadmap and greater reassurance about Microsoft’s commitment to your technology future.
