Microsoft's Dynamics team is continuing to lead the Windows 8 app charge



From All About Microsoft:

The team plans to reinforce that message during the kick-off keynote of Microsoft's Convergence 2014 conference on March 4 by introducing another Windows Store/Metro-Style app -- one for shop-floor control. The new app, a screen shot of which is above, allows shop floor operators to report on production jobs and will be available on May 1, 2014.

But Microsoft's Dynamics ERP team plans to go one better and is making its own application-development framework available to other developers. The framework will allow customers and partners to build Windows Store/Metro-Style apps that work with Dynamics AX, which is Microsoft's flagship ERP solution. (Dynamics AX is one of four different ERP offerings from Microsoft.)
