C|Net | at | by Mike
SAP and Microsoft on Tuesday announced plans to expand their partnership for Duet software, setting the stage for the next versions of the business applications project.
Duet allows SAP's key business management applications to work with Microsoft Office. The companies said they plan to add several new features to Duet 2.0, which is expected to be released at the end of 2008. Duet 3.0 is slated for release after the next versions of SAP Business Suite and Microsoft Office debut, the companies said.
"Microsoft and SAP are embarking on a richer relationship with Duet 2.0 and 3.0," Leo Apotheker, SAP's deputy CEO, said at SAP's Sapphire '07 conference. "With this road map, we are adding new language support for the various country versions that will make Duet a much stronger application."
