Have you met "Duet" (codename Mendocino) yet?
It's Ascension Day in Germany - at least mail from european collegues are rare today so there's enough time for a couple of updates. One should definetely be on the joint product with SAP: Duet. If you havn't already visited the official WebSite: http://www.duet.com/ do so today. You'll find all the information about features, architecture and prereq's there. For most of you (tech-geeks and arhcitects) this also might be interesting in terms of architecture. The Office/SAP team already had to solve problems like SSO, security, local caching and teach Office XAML so that Outlook can directly interact with ESA using the duet server component(s).
See the recorded WebCast, Whitepapers and News on the product.
Want to see it live? Visit us at SAP SAPPHIRE in Paris next week. We'll have the latest preview version on our booth (thanks Mario who spends most of his time now in the DataCenter). The CTSC will have a pod on interoperability in general as well as upcoming Composite Apps. We have some showcases but will also be happy discuss strategy with you.
