Designed, developed, and manufactured by SAP AG and Microsoft Corporation, Duet™ software brings together the two worlds of desktop productivity and enterprise applications.

Thanks to technology advances in everything from desktop applications to networking and the Web, today’s information workers have access to a greater depth and quality of information than ever before. However, these workers often lack the access or special skills they need to view or contribute directly to the most valuable data and business processes within their own organizations. Meanwhile, data for reports or business plans must be collated from a variety of sources. This results in wasted time and possible errors from using data that is out of date.

By integrating Microsoft Office with SAP® software, Duet has dramatically changed this scenario. Duet gives information workers a window into the heart of SAP enterprise applications, significantly improving their access to information and key business processes such as demand planning or event management.
