Making Microsoft Duet into a Trio
February 1, 2011
After a long delay, Microsoft has rolled out a connector to “hook” SharePoint and SAP content into Microsoft SharePoint. According to “SAP and Microsoft Announce Availability of Duet Enterprise, Launch Joint Partner Program”:
SAP and Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq “MSFT”) executives today announced general availability of Duet Enterprise software, their joint product, and showcased early customer and partner adoption. In addition, SAP and Microsoft launched the new SAP-Microsoft Unite Partner Connection program. President of Microsoft Office Division Kurt DelBene and SAP Executive Board Member Vishal Sikka kicked off the Duet Enterprise Virtual Launch Summit by detailing how the companies’ combined software strategies provide greater value and business potential for their mutual customers and partners.Duet Enterprise connects Microsoft SharePoint 2010 and SAP solutions, providing end users with easier access to business processes and data. Businesses deploying Duet Enterprise can enhance the return on their existing IT investments and create a more collaborative infrastructure that will help improve overall productivity.
As useful as this software component is, SharePoint content often needs additional indexing, metatagging, and entity extraction. Ontolica, developed by Copenhagen-based SurfRay, provides a ready to deploy system that allows greater control over the document categories generated by SharePoint. With Ontolica, a SharePoint / SAP Duet user can be directed to recommended content, sometimes called “best bets”.
Our view is that Ontolica goes beyond SharePoint’s native functionality. With greater precision, complex data from SharePoint repositories or third party applications like SAP becomes more accessible.

Completely understand what your stance about this joint partner program. Although I would disagree on some of the finer details, I think you did an awesome job writing it. Thanks
