This Morning before the show floor even opened up, our demo Pod was already getting visitors. Definately stop by to talk to our experts at the Pod. Believe or not, you can even talk to our new demo app too! (D&T campus Pod DT625 Create Engaging Customer Experiences: Portals, Gateways, and Beyond)

Our Solution Manager Himanshu co-presented at the “Duet Enterprise for Operational Impact” Microforum together with MSFT and Cap Gemini. It was such an engaging session.

Our Duet roundtable by invitation only with Dr. Pepper was a full house session. Dr Pepper Snapple Group is a leading producer of flavored beverages in North America and the Caribbean. Over the past 3-5 years Dr Pepper Snapple Group has invested heavily in their SAP transactional business systems. In order to deliver a solution that has a familiar Microsoft style user interface Dr. Pepper Snapple Group implemented a new mobile purchase requisition approval process utilizing Duet Enterprise. With that Dr Pepper Snapple Group has been able to increase adoption, speed in the process, increase accuracy of purchase orders, and increase productivity.

One more fun event today for the onsite team was the ASUG TV Studio interview about “SAP, Microsoft and Duet Enterprise”. Our GW and Duet solution management colleagues Himanshu and Ella were interviewed together with Bill Newman (ASUG Volunteer of Newport Consulting). Some highlights of the discussion are:
- Duet Enterprise is not the old Duet product, do not mix them up
- For today’s business users user experience is the key
- SAP and MSFT are better together for join product like Duet Enterprise so companies already invested in both technologies and skillset can leverage their existing software and resources
