...Glossary of musical terminology From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search This is a list of musical terms that are likely to be encountered in printed scores, music reviews, and program notes. Most of the terms are Italian (see also Italian musical terms used in English), in accordance with the Italian origins of many European musical conventions. Sometimes, the special musical meanings of these phrases differ from the original or current Italian meanings. Most of the other terms are taken from French and German, indicated by "(Fr)" and "(Ger)", respectively. Others are from languages such as Portuguese, Latin, and Spanish. Unless specified, the terms are Italian or English. The list can never be complete: some terms are common, and others are used only occasionally, and new ones are coined from time to time. Some composers prefer terms from their own language rather than the standard terms here.

...Microsoft Advances Successful, Two-Tier ERP Strategy with Powerful, New ERP Sol ution Brief business description Microsoft is said to be the world’s largest software company which started in the United States. According to the newsletter Microsoft – History of a Computing Giant by Mary Bellis, Microsoft was founded in 1975 by Paul Allen and Bill Gates. With nearly 90,000 employees and 110 subsidiaries worldwide, Microsoft needed to replace its diverse expense-reporting systems with a single, centrally managed solution that was easier to use and yielded more consistent, detailed information. This was an opportunity to extend the company’s two-tier ERP strategy, standardizing on Microsoft Dynamics AX for operational units and integrating with the SAP system for corporate financial accounting. The Finance Operations team and Microsoft IT collaborated with the product group to implement Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 as the standard solution. In doing so, Microsoft performed a repeatable deployment scenario that can be of value for many enterprises. What’s more, Microsoft uses the solution as an “innovation layer” to complement the company’s SAP system, enabling faster rollout of timesaving functions to employees throughout the organization. It also design and sell hardware including the Xbox 360 gaming and entertainment console, Kinect for Xbox 360, Xbox 360 accessories, and Microsoft PC hardware products.
