ATLANTA — SAP AG and Microsoft yesterday announced plans to significantly extend their two-year-old Duet partnership, a move that reinforces Duet as an important part of SAP's strategy to open its enterprise applications to large numbers of nontraditional users, such as sales professionals. At SAP's annual Sapphire customer conference here, where more than 15,000 attendees gathered, the company and Microsoft laid out a two-year roadmap for additional Duet joint development that will expand business scenarios that the tool supports and provide integration of Duet, formerly code-named Mendocino, with Microsoft's Office SharePoint Server portal product.
