Convergence…of what?
Microsoft Business Solutions is a rudderless ship. Just take a look at the website for their big annual conference, Convergence 2006. I took a look because I am an Axapta users. Axapta is a great ERP package that MBS has run into the ground since acquiring it several years ago.
I also took a look because the conference is in Dallas. I wouldn’t consider travelling to it, but I figured since it was local, it might be worth it. But I can’t imagine how it would be worth it, because there’s a complete lack of any meaningful information on the conference website. It’s all marketspeak drivel, nothing concrete. All I could really figure out it that there would be lots of opportunities to network and I’d get to bring home a DVD! Oy.
Perhaps they’ll actually ship a new version of Axapta this year as promised (there has been no updates since MBS acquired Axapta). I think this is actually possible only because they’ve officially renamed the product “Dynamics AX” and they want to get out the new splash screen.
