Duet is all about improving Information Worker (IW) productivity. Productivity gains are realized when structured process and communication styles complement intutive unstructured, adhoc commuication styles. IW's managing their own vacation schedules from within Outlook is a powerful example of such productivity gains, realized when Outlook and SAP modules work with each other seamlessly. As you can see from this screenshot http://blogs.msdn.com/photos/teamduet/picture4540888.aspx  IW's can schedule vacation requests from within Outlook and all SAP business rules will be applied. The window on the right side shows relevant contextual information from the backend SAP system.
