Going Beyond Duet: The Extensio Alternative

So, you have heard about Duet, the joint software product by SAP and Microsoft and its promise to connect up Microsoft Office with SAP. And you are intrigued with its promise of connecting user’s desktop applications such as Outlook, directly with SAP. 

But wait! Did you notice that Duet deals with only limited pre-configured SAP transactions? Did you observe that it requires large investments in Microsoft Office 2003 upgrades and middleware? Did you factor in the costs of its requirement to  migrate to mySAP ERP 2004 or higher?

1. Connects only a few transactions from SAP to Outlook
2. Has no tools to enable you to build your own pathways to MS Office interfaces
3. Does not connect you to other non-SAP data stores
4. Requires an upgrade to Microsoft Office 2003+ versions on your desktops
5. Requires you to install a whole lot of middleware from SAP and Microsoft on your server farm
