AP AG adapts Microsoft Business Framework

AP AG is one of 14 companies that Microsoft chose as Early Adopter Partner for the development of business solutions based on the newly created Microsoft Business Framework for the Windows platform. This allows AP AG to strength its already traditionally intensive cooperation with Microsoft as part of the further development of its XML Web Service based e(xtended) ERP system Systems P2plus. AP AG's developers are collaborating on this project directly with the responsible developers in Microsoft.

With Microsoft Business Framework software companies receive a standardized development environment and tools that allow their programmers to focus on faster software development while enjoying enhanced user comfort. With this appointment as an Early Adopter, Microsoft is highlighting its partnership with AP AG in the use of Windows platform technologies as well as the provision of Web Services and advanced company solutions for medium-sized enterprises based on .NET.

"With its ERP solution P2plus AP AG is leading the way in the development of advanced software solutions for medium-sized industrial and trading companies based on the Windows platform", explains Laurent Delaporte, Vice President of the Small and Midmarket Solutions and Partners Microsoft EMEA. "We are delighted that we were able to gain AP AG as an Early Adopter and that they will be contributing their valuable experience to the further development of the Business Frameworks."

"This is a huge opportunity for AP to further increase its competitive advantage on the ERP market," stresses Harald Witte, AP AG CEO. "As a result we will soon be able to provide our customers with solutions that are even more based on internationally valid standards. By also considerably simplifying international cooperation between companies, we are strengthening the competitiveness of our users. We are also affording our customers significant investment and support savings in IT."
