They are solidly a client server based company. With the Dynamics product there is no web front end. (There is Sharepoint for portal stuff though.) There are very few ASP's hosting Dynamics for clients. Microsoft is throwing their marketing weight behind Dynamics and with Vista coming up, they will be closely linking Dynamics to Office to Vista. Will midsized companies with an already substantial investment in MS infrastructure take the leap and risk their whole operation by being dedicated to a single vendor? We shall see, but client server is far from dead in the ERP market. The one thing you are forgetting is Microsoft’s entrance into this field. They are solidly a client server based company.

Companies like ours can offer much better value for your dollar yet be flexible enough to add features at moments notice. I don’t any serious company would go with a web based ERP, what if you have a billing dispute? You need full and final say over you data.. That means having it on site. Sammy A.
