At its annual event for customers who use Microsoft Dynamics products, Microsoft is announcing major upcoming releases of two of its flagship Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solutions this week: Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 and Microsoft Dynamics SL 7, both expected to be available in June 2007. Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 is an out-of-the-box business management solution that includes more than 100 new features that span the range of ERP functions, as well as a new user interface that brings forward the look and feel of the recently launched 2007 Microsoft Office system and Windows Vista. Other improvements include significant enhancements to business intelligence (BI) functionality and advanced search and workflow capabilities. Microsoft Dynamics SL 7 is an adaptable business management solution that automates the transactions of project, service and distribution driven organizations and provides managers with insights to help monitor and grow their company through confident decision making.

To learn more about these upcoming releases, the development process and the competitive landscape, PressPass spoke with Lynne Stockstad who, as general manager of the Microsoft Dynamics GP, Microsoft Dynamics SL and Microsoft Point of Sale product lines, oversees all three product teams.
