Interestingly, although Microsoft and SAP market competing enterprise software, they
also partnered with one another in the development of Duet, a set of technologies that enables
SAP users to access and interact with their back-end ERP system via a familiar Microsoft
Outlook interface. The goal is to boost worker productivity without additional training. Easy
access to key back-end data helps SAP and Microsoft users make faster and more informed
business decisions.
