Microsoft is on the hunt for a new chief for its Microsoft Business Solutions unit.
Doug Burgum, senior vice president for the Business Solutions Group—who has led MBS for the past five years, ever since Microsoft acquired Burgums Great Plains Software— is remaining with the company. But Burgum will move into a new role, serving as chairman of MBS, as soon as his replacement is found, Microsoft announced recently. Microsoft hopes to have a new MBS senior vice president in place by the spring, Burgum said.
