Absolutely! For companies interested in extending the reach of their current applications, consider Duet Enterprise, a product jointly developed by SAP and Microsoft. Duet Enterprise combines the collaboration and productivity supported by Microsoft SharePoint with the business data and business-processing functionality of SAP applications. With Duet Enterprise, companies can easily boost user's productivity and increase business agility while expanding the value of their IT investments.

There are a variety of scenarios that can benefit from enabling interoperability between SAP and Microsoft SharePoint with Duet Enterprise. Those scenarios include workflow approvals such as purchase requisition approvals and invoice approvals where the data is pulled from SAP systems and presented to users through the familiar interface offered by Microsoft SharePoint. Other scenarios include time recorded requests including leave requests and calendar templates, as well as, CRM scenarios and reporting.

Duet Enterprise enables companies to start their integration projects fairly quickly and add sophistication as they grow. The solution offers ready to use capabilities and tools that allow companies to jump start the process while facilitating the development of composites. Duet Enterprise also offers pre-configured business objects that help expose SAP data, workflows and reports to SharePoint users in a quick and simple way. As business needs arise, companies can add more complex scenarios by adding functionality to the ready to use capabilities, editing SAP data, and customizing user interfaces.

As far as the end-user, Duet Enterprise exposes users to data from SAP through the familiar interface provided by Microsoft thus eliminating the need for training. Furthermore, by offering users access to data through one, intuitive UI, users save time while increasing their productivity.
