The Windows Observer--Microsoft Unveils 'Duet'-Like Interface, New ERP Releases
The Windows Observer--Microsoft Unveils 'Duet'-Like Interface, New ERP Releases: "One year ago, at the 2006 Convergence show in San Diego, Microsoft and SAP announced the pending availability of Duet, a product that turned Microsoft Office--specifically Outlook--into an interface for SAP's mySAP ERP software. Duet enabled users to perform certain business functions, such as entering time and attendance information, from an Outlook screen, such as the calendaring system served by Exchange Server.
Now, Microsoft is using the 2007 Convergence show being held this week in San Diego as the launch pad for its own version of Duet, called Dynamics Client for Microsoft Office. There will be two versions of the package--one called Dynamics Client for Microsoft Office and Windows Sharepoint Services, and the other Dynamics Client for Microsoft Office and SharePoint Server. For each, the software will provide users the capability to access specific business processes contained in Dynamics AX, Dynamics SL, Dynamics GP, Dynamics NAV, and the FRx budgeting software, via Office interfaces.
