In a presentation yesterday about Microsoft and cloud computing, CEO Steve Ballmer said his company is all about the cloud, even products that didn't start there. "The inspiration for what we're doing now starts with the cloud," he said, proceeding to lump Windows Phone, Xbox, Bing, Windows Azure and SQL Azure as all part of the cloud universe. Then he continued, "Microsoft Office and Exchange, and SharePoint, which are the back-end facilities in that professional set of tools are all really focused in on the cloud today. This is the bet, if you will, for our company." Part of me thinks that Microsoft's labeling needs to be more in line with cheese products in the dairy section of supermarkets. There's cheese, then there's cheese food, or more correctly, processed cheese, cheese spread, cheese products and imitation cheese. Some of the Microsoft stuff looks more like processed cloud and perhaps even imitation cloud. (I have my own label, cheese-like food). Not surprisingly, Dynamics products were not mentioned, although their future is clearly linked to the Azure platform. To a certain extent, I tend to think Microsoft's current approach with Dynamics could be labeled "imitation cloud" until Azure gets going. |

 The drumbeats are getting louder and faster for the launch of Dynamics GP 2010 which takes place in May with the new price lists becoming officially on May 1. The lure for end users includes the possibility of enabling them to learn about "the exciting new licensing that may allow existing customers to purchase functionality now and get significantly more at no cost when new price lists become official on May 1."

Results for Dynamics reseller Fullscope weren't included in the 2009 results for its new parent, Edgewater Technology since its acquisition was effective after the year closed. But I'm sure Edgewater can't get those numbers of the books quick enough as the company’s revenue dropped by 32.1 percent for the year ended December 31. Revenue for 2009 was $50.1 million, down from $73.7 million the prior year.
