Too little? Perhaps not. Too late? Pretty much.

I don't know if this as much a play against Netsuite (who lately has been building up channel incentives to reduce churn) as much Microsoft trying to hold off ERP SaaS for SMBs by going for the ERP SaaS "brand" first. Bigger concerns in my opinion are the lack of a Dynamics ERP SaaS road map AND Salesforce.com + FinancialForce.com. Having said this I do know of several NAV deals that have gone to Netsuite over the past several months. Switching bounties are nothing new – just most are through partner incentives.
