Microsoft Dynamics C5 is an enterprise resource planning (ERP) software product from Microsoft.〔(Microsoft Dynamics C5 ), Microsoft 〕 The product is part of the Microsoft Dynamics family, and intended to assist with finance, manufacturing, supply chains, analytics and electronic commerce for small and medium-sized enterprises. Value-added resellers (VAR)s as well as customers can have full access to the business logic source code, and it has a reputation as being easy to customize. More than 70,000 licenses have been sold since 1995. Microsoft has guaranteed that the product will be sold until 2018.〔(Dynamics C5 Roadmap ), release year 2010〕 A hosted solution has been launched so smaller firms do not need to have program installed. Instead they can choose to use the program in a Remote Desktop Services environment.〔(Danmarks største ERP-succes skal på nettet ), by Dan Jensen, Computerworld, July 12, 2007 〕 ==History== C5 was launched in 1995 as replacement to the DOS-based Concorde C4 by Damgaard Data. At the time of the release it was sold under the name Concorde C5 in Denmark and Arctos abroad. The logic source code is named ''eXtended Application Language'' (XAL) and borrowed from a larger product called Microsoft Dynamics XAL, also originally a Concorde product from Damgaard, which was politically withdrawn from the market because it shared the same market segment as Microsoft Dynamics NAV. XAL, and to some extent C5, offer database and OS options for a number of non-Microsoft products like Oracle, DB2 and Linux. The name eXtended Application Language was chosen due to the fact that it was an enhancement of the logic source code used in products like NAV. In connection with Microsoft XAL's exit from the market the product was changed from targeting only small enterprises to target medium-sized enterprises too, so customers running on the discontinued Microsoft XAL could convert their product easily to C5. The product is sold almost entirely in Denmark because Microsoft consider the competition among solutions sold to smaller companies too harsh. A project aimed at converting C5 into a European version known as ''Dynamics Entrepreneur'' was discontinued in 2008 due to the conditions on the market 〔(Microsoft dropper dansk-udviklet stor-satsning ), by Dan Jensen, ComputerWorld, November 19, 2008 〕 December 2013 it was revealed that C5 2014 would be based on the database logitic of NAV. Every customer with adjustments to prior systems would have to re-program those.〔(Microsoft skrotter dansk it-klassiker ), by Henrik Rasch, ComputerWorld 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Microsoft Dynamics C5」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
