With Duet Enterprise for Microsoft SharePoint and SAP, you can view and update information about your sales contacts in a collaboration workspace. Changes you make to sales contact information in Duet are stored in SAP so that they are available to Duet and SAP users who have the appropriate permissions.

You can also use Microsoft Outlook to view your sales contacts when you are offline. This is useful if you are travelling, say, on a sales visit and you cannot connect to the Internet. Before your trip, you can synchronize your sales contacts from SharePoint to Outlook. Your sales contacts will now be available as normal Outlook contacts and you can view, modify or delete them. Later when connect to SAP, you can re-synchronize the contacts so that the modifications you have made show in SharePoint and saved in SAP.
