Alternative to White Board Intro Slide 1:This slide is an alternative - about pain points, challenges and goals around infrequent business user, SAP enablement. Use this slide if you are limited in time, uncomfortable leading a board talk discussion Understand that by putting words on this slide, this approach limits the valuable discussion you would get by starting a discussionOur customers tell us that enabling their business people continues to be one of their top goals.To get the most out of their talented workforce, that workforce needs Instant access to the timely and accurate information they need in the context of that need Ability to share relevant information from the business systems (like SAP) and from their own work products Ability to effectivelycollaborate with the team (formal or ad hoc)By enabling the team to contribute to that informationSo that everyone is basing their analysis, conclusions, solutions, and decisions on the correct business insightAsk the question:What are the goals you would like to achieve around more effectively enabling your business people?Transition: Now that we have looked at some goals and challenges, let’s understand what the impact of these are on the business

Key Message: Duet Enterprise was designed to help you improve business insight for a workforce that needs infrequent access to SAP.There are four key values that Duet Enterprise provides to address these issues.Enables IT to more rapidly deliverBusiness solutions that facilitate and improve business insight and team collaborationTo the bulk of your workforce that doesn’t need to become power usersWith the effect of driving personal productivity through that workforceDuet Enterprise does this by bringing the worlds of SAP business systems and Microsoft user experience together.Transition: Let’s look at a sample Duet Enterprise solution to see how it delivers on these characteristics
Key Message: Duet Enterprise enables IT to build a new type of composite solution that melds SAP and other business information and activities with team collaboration facilities.So, what are the key components of a Duet Enterprise business solution?Familiar user experience contributed by Microsoft SharePoint (and Microsoft Office components)A team collaboration environmentInvite and equip team members (point out team member profiles)To participate in the discussion and decision making (point out IM capabilities next to each team member profile and team discussions)Easy access to:SAP data – point out Customer Details and Sales Contacts with the ability to view, update, create new instance, shareSAP reports – point out three reports posted from SAP with the ability to pull, schedule, view, shareSAP workflow activities – point out the list of workflow activities specific to this individual along with the ability to initiate, work a task, approve/rejectIncorporating Information and actions from other business systems – point out the list of shared documentsNote that other systems might be able to participate in the same manner as SAPIndividual and team work products – also with the list of shared documentsIn summary, a Duet Enterprise solution creates a unified view for a team that providesContextualRelevantBusiness insightTransition: So, what are the features of Duet Enterprise that enable the creation of these types of solutions?Possible questions: I can do this already today with customer development. Why should I do this via Duet Enterprise?Supported product by both SAP and MSFTBased on the standard platform Duet Enterprise (“you always know how the flow is working; even if you switch partners, developers, … you know how it works and can maintain the solution”)Whatever solution you build on top of Duet Enterprise – it is secure. (several customers have run external security audits on top of their Duet Enterprise implementations and came out fine)Developers can concetrate on the business requirements (e.g. create a purchase order scenario) not on the technical stuff (SSO, Secuirty, Monitoring, …)Via tools like CTS+ both SAP and MSFT development can be bundled and the whole TCD is reducedUsually point to point connections are used. So you develop one for your SharePoint integration; once for your Outlook integration; once for your mobile integration. With Duet Enterprise – based on SAP NetWeaver Gateway – an abstraction layer (Gateway) is introduced which makes the development more flexible. You develop once your Gateway object and then can easily expose these objects to SharePoint (via Duet Enterprise), to Outlook (via the Gateway promotion) or even mobile devices (either direct or via SUP).
Key Message: Duet Enterprise features behind the Duet Enterprise key values.What features enable IT to build the composition solutions that deliver the key values:To enable IT to deliver rapidly, Duet Enterprise provides:SAP-Microsoft foundation – already coded integration in the areas of authorization, security, user management, Tools – functionality that is plugged into the SAP and Microsoft development environments to speed up composite creationReady-to-use templates – that quickly enable the visualization and manipulation of workflows, SAP business objects, and reports in SharePointTo create these contextual and relevant business solutionsComposition – configuration and assembly to surface business objects, workflows, reports, and profiles in SharePoint collaborative workspacesTo expand the reachFamiliar and ubiquitous SharePoint environment makes SAP business objects, workflows, and reports accessible to everyone who is authorizedNo SAP training is requiredDrive personal and team productivityCollaborative environment facilitates teamworkContextual and relevant solutions eliminate time spent by infrequent users in power user environmentsEveryone on the same page – pricelessTransition: How does Duet Enterprise impact the IT organization?
Key Message: Duet Enterprise enables IT to deliver more efficiently.IT can more rapidly build these high value, composite solutions because Duet Enterprise Plugs into your existing SAP, SharePoint 2010, and Office 2010 systemsIn fact, Duet Enterprise allows you to integrate multiple SAP systems including your older R/3 systemsLeverages your in-house or partner talent and skill setsDevelopment is done with the same talented development team – SAP ABAP, SharePoint Designer, and .NET developersIn their familiar development toolsUsing their current skill setsTransition: A key factor in delivering IT efficiency is based on how will Duet Enterprise fits into our existing IT landscape. Let’s take a look.
