[AccessD] 3gERP: Next generation ERP

Hi Jim

Probably everything that has with user access and permissions to do. Or at least with a generic LDAP interface.

Yes, it is a very ambitious project. The purpose - as I see it though not explicitly expressed - is to create a foundation for a SAP killer with SQL Server and a dot Net based framework at the core surrounded by every MS tool imaginable including Office, BackOffice, Outlook, Exchange, CRM and BI.

I asked how to get access to the results (remember, this is a project mostly supported by Danish public fonds). The leader of the project, Niels Bjørn-Andersen, tells me that an e-mail newsletter will be available and everyone can subscribe. I'll leave a note on how, at the latest when the first issue is out.

Gustav:

I wonder how this relates to MS's Active directory structure. The project
sounds massive in scope.

Hi all

I know some of you are working with ERP and accounting systems.
If so, a major project has been initiated between some Danish research
institutes and Microsoft Development Center Copenhagen (which you may know
is responsible for the development of all MS current and future ERP systems,
Microsoft Dynamics):

The academic results will be published especially in the form of
international journal publications and conference papers. The planned
scientific minimum output would be 10 * 15 international journal
publications, more than twice as many conference papers, one book and last
but not least seven PhD theses.

On the business side, there are two sets of objectives. Firstly, it is
expected that the 3gERP project will contribute to developing a very
advanced global ERP-system, which can achieve a significant market share in
the market place and in that way contribute to maintaining and further
increase the employment in MBS in Denmark. Secondly, it is expected that the
research insights will be used in industries in Denmark enhancing their
possibilities of competing in the global market place. ..
