Microsoft, SAP Play Duet
Microsoft, SAP Play Duet: "The companies announced the product in a joint press conference featuring a senior executive from each. Although the tone was very friendly, Shai Agassi, president of SAP's Product and Technology Group, was cautious when asked if more joint products are in the offing. 'If this works well, we will talk again,' he said.
Microsoft's Jeff Raikes, who heads the company's business division, noted the difficulty of 'bringing together two companies with two different styles and approaches to the marketplace.' Despite the obstacles, he said, Duet is launching on time, with more functionality than was originally envisioned when the project began some two years ago. "
