Microsoft says that Dynamics revenues rose 11 percent for the third quarter ended March 31, compared to results a year earlier. But that included 30-percent growth in Dynamics CRM revenue which suggests accounting software revenue grew a lot less. In an earnings webcast, the company said that it has 33,000 customers. And that is all  Microsoft reports about the product line, the rest of this is filler.

Infor has named Stephen Scholl, formerly CEO of Lawson Software, as co-president. The move follows this month's merger of Lawson with Infor. The man he joins in the presidential role is Duncan Angove and both are veterans of Oracle, as is their boss, Infor CEO Charles Phillips.
