The company will announce March 28 at its Microsoft Convergence conference in Dallas a Web services integration layer that will be delivered this year across its range of Dynamics ERP (enterprise resource planning) suites to enable composite application development and integration.
Microsoft Dynamics CRM (Customer Relationship Management) and Dynamics GP are available now with a Web services layer, and Dynamics AX (Axapta) will ship in May with its Web services layer. The remaining Dynamics suites, SL (Solomon) and NAV (Navision), will be available with an integration layer later this year.
The Web services integration layer will allow Microsoft to standardize data models across its four ERP suites. It will also bring much greater integration capabilities to customers and partners developing third-party applications around Dynamics and hooking into Microsoft applications for customers.
