Duet and Outlook Add-ins
A frequent project speed bump comes during the integration of Duet for Microsoft Office and SAP and Microsoft Outlook or Exchange Add-ins. Add-ins are frequently added within any environment to extend the functionality offered by Outlook. Duet is an example of an add-in that will be added.
