SAP and Microsoft plan to launch their business process
integration product, Duet, next month.
Previously known as Mendocino, Duet has been awaited for 12
months. It is designed to allow users to interact more easily with
SAP business processes via Microsoft Office applications such as
Outlook.
SAP and Microsoft have also announced plans to enhance the
capabilities of Duet later this year.
The two said Duet allows companies to increase user adoption of
enterprise systems and business processes by offering a familiar
environment that is “rapidly deployable and requires virtually no
training”.
Some analysts, however, have questioned Duet’s worth.
