As a legacy name in the ERP world, Microsoft was hit with some big news yesterday; Corporate VP and head of Dynamics ERP Bob Stutz is leaving Microsoft and joining SalesForce, a leader in the CRM (customer relationship management) software world.
This is an important moment in the business software realm, as it shows the intricate relationship and overlapping services inherent in enterprise business software such as ERP’s and CRM’s. Stutz’ deep software experience and leadership in the ERP realm is going to carry over well to his new position as chief analytics officer for the CRM front-runners.
As more and more enterprise industries realize the importance of business software solutions such as ERP and CRM, expect to see more shifts in the hierarchy like this as these two important business tools become more entwined over the years.
