Microsoft, the software giant has announced the acquisition of ERP products from four smaller ERP vendors. The acquisition is backed by the possibilities to give Oracle or SAP ERP a run for their market share.
Microsoft is optimistic that with the acquisition of ERP products, the company can grab some share of divisional business from large units that run on standardized Oracle or SAP ERP.
The company aims to integrate those products into the Microsoft Dynamics AX suite. Among the acquisitions done, the company has acquired process manufacturing software from Fullscope, professional services software from Computer Generated Solutions, and retail software from LS Retail and To-Increase Denmark.
Till the updates, financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
Microsoft Dynamic AX suite was planned after the acquisition of Navision in 2002 and the product is aimed at upper end of the midmarket. The approach is towards involving the mid market customers in vertical strategy and the large influx of partner involvement has made it appealing for Microsoft.
It seems that after gaining a better control over the vertical strategy, Microsoft can better position those products globally.
