ATLANTA — This might be remembered as the Convergence where Microsoft finally began to converge. More specifically, it is the convergence where accounting and CRM met in the cloud. The big news coming from Convergence is the announcement that Microsoft AX, one of the company’s three ERP systems, is moving to the cloud. You could look at this as a logical extension of Steve Ballmer’s oft-repeated tag line, “we’re all in,” which he happily reiterated in his Keynote on Monday. I can just imagine how many CRM hearts are beating a bit faster knowing this — but hold on. Just how in is in?
