Azure will be Unit4's preferred public cloud platform. The self-driving concept was discussed in February issue of Diginomica.com, which outlined some of the Unit4 effort. For example, if a company has run hundreds of projects, Diginomica.com said, and has captured that information in the ERP system, the financial application can predict time and cost of the next project. Basically, self-driving systems utilize existing data to eliminate the need for data entry and make calculations and projections. The Unit4 press release says the development team will be established, so it's not surprising no delivery time is mentioned. Whatever the schedule, I think we have found a candidate for buzz-word of the year for 2016 or 2017.
