Furthermore, in June 2010, Microsoft announced the launch of the Microsoft Upstream Reference Architecture (MURA) Initiative, an endeavor led by Microsoft and its industry partners. Currently, in most upstream businesses, the state of their IT infrastructure is unable to adequately support and respond to the exponentially increasing volume of information needed for analysis, operations, and business requirements. Large volumes of domain-specific information are embedded in various upstream applications, resulting in it being difficult or impossible to use data to quickly and efficiently to get the information and answers needed. The MURA Initiative is not a Microsoft product-mandated system; rather it seeks to develop a common information technology framework that allows for the easy flow of information across upstream units that offers benefits to both partners and customers. System integrators and solution providers will have an established, coherent environment in which they can build solutions. Upstream business can be confident that application solutions will run and integrate with their IT environments.
