  Q&A: Microsoft exec talks up Project Green
Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: Computer Weekly | Posted By: Chris Hedlund

Doug Burgum, senior vice president of the Microsoft Business Solutions Business Group, and other executives at this week's Convergence 2005 user show unveiled a road map for development across the group's four product lines in an initiative known as "Project Green." The initiative includes extending the support time for the current applications and phasing in changes in two major waves using technologies such as Web services and role-based interfaces. Sometime after 2008, Microsoft Corp. plans to offer a software suite that incorporates the best of each product line and allows companies to easily map out their own business processes. The following interview with Burgum is based on comments made to Computerworld and statements at public forums. How is Microsoft doing in terms of business applications revenue? We have an aspiration to have significant market share. Do we have a special goal out there? No. We don't have a profitability issue or problem. We would have one if we were trying to be profitable and weren't. If you are planning to invest money, as Microsoft has a plan to, in what you think is a big opportunity down the road, it's not a problem but an opportunity. Anyone who characterizes profitability as something to be fixed doesn't understand Microsoft and the charter given to me. Each year, the amount of planned loss is less. In terms of revenue growth, obviously, you love to be growing faster than we are, but we're pleased with the revenue growth.
