Office Gains Supply Chain Ties

One way to keep Office out of the features wars with free open source tools is for Microsoft to push the suite as a development environment and as a front-end to enterprise applications such as ERP. This week, Microsoft made its pitch for Office to front-end supply chain back-ends.

Microsoft has a small share of the supply chain software market today, but I predict it will be a major player in years to come.
