Software revenue dropped to $2.5 million, down 43 percent from $4.3 million. Part of that drop reflects the fact that the year-ago figures included a significant amount of revenue from the sale of an Edgewater product to Microsoft. However, CFO Timothy Oakes noted the fact that some Dynamics AX deals are reported as gross sales and others as net sales means that Microsoft revenue can fluctuate. The company also noted its alliance with three international Dynamics resellers, announced this month, to form Absolute Process Partners, a partnership that services about 150 Microsoft Dynamics AX process manufacturing customers. The other VARs are Edan Business Solutions in Belgium, KCS.net in Germany and Sable Systems in New Zealand.
