MILWAUKEE -- RedPrairie Corporation, a global leader in supply chain technology solutions that enable business process transformation, announced that they have formed a strategic alliance with Microsoft Corp. to provide integrated Warehouse and Transportation Management solutions with Microsoft Dynamics GP, and other Business Management solutions.

The relationship extends beyond joint marketing efforts, with RedPrairie developing a communications standard to Microsoft's eConnect communication layer.
