Microsoft's RFID Software Axapta 4.0 Delayed Due to ERP Issues
Microsoft Business Solutions has delayed the release of its ERP software Axapta 4.0 until October. The original release was going to come sometime in the first half of this year. The reason for the delay is that Microsoft is having problems integrating certain features into all of their ERP products. Axapta is going to be the first ERP product from Microsoft to integrate RFID. The delays could aversely affect Microsoft's long-term plans to offer a platform that will integrate ERP and RFID. According to InformationWeek:
Giant Bicycle USA, which runs Axapta, is looking into using RFID in its global supply chain between the manufacturing sites and sales and distribution facilities. Microsoft's ERP delays don't concern Mike Forte, director of strategic information systems at Giant Bicycle, which sold approximately 350,000 bikes in the United States last year through about 1,200 dealers. Deep in the midst of rolling out Axapta 3.0, Giant Bicycle's IT division is focusing on making sure the sales and distribution facilities in Australia and Canada are up and running this year on the ERP platform.
