    LAS VEGAS -- SAP said it would begin shipping on December 23 an early version of a software product designed to allow users to access the SAP software system through Microsoft Office.

    Described as a "preview" of what SAP and Microsoft have called Project Mendocino, the software will be released to 40 customers and 10 partner companies later this month, SAP said. The software will be released to an additional 50 customers in April and is scheduled for general availability in July. The names of the customers and partners were not released.

    SAP and Microsoft announced Project Mendocino last spring at SAP's annual Sapphire user meeting in Copenhagen. At that time, SAP said the software would begin to be available in the fourth quarter of 2005.
