The cat’s out of the bag: sounds like FRx will be around for a while. One can only hope!
Per Doug Henschen in an article for Network Computing yesterday “…the Microsoft Dynamics ERP and applications unit…will continue to develop its Forecaster and FRx products for forecasting, budgeting and financial reporting.” Here’s a link to the full article (update on 8/25/12—this article is no longer available, so I’ve removed the link) which contains a good bit of information regarding the recent announcement on the ‘reshuffling’ with PerformancePoint Server.
So that it seems that FRx and Forecaster and Management Reporter are returning to the Dynamics team. For the last year or so they’ve been with the Office team.
Much more information to come in the March 2009 timeframe, but I’ll post what I hear in the meantime. What great news!
Lets hope so. Most other systems are not as robust and smooth as FRX.
Perhaps MS will see the light and scrap thier Navision Reporting for FRX.
