From the Microsoft SAP Alliance Team
Welcome to the premier issue of the Microsoft SAP Technical Community Newsletter. The Microsoft SAP Alliance Team has already had a busy fall and is looking forward to using this newsletter as a vehicle to disseminate news and information to our customers. The team recently returned from SAP TechEd 07 in Las Vegas and Munich. At these events we have been showcasing Duet, Office Business Applications with SAP, and .Net Web Services Interoperability with SAP Netweaver. SAP customers have been especially interested in the upcoming Microsoft Windows Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 releases. We have also been very active in the Americas SAP User Group Community and are participating in numerous ASUG events throughout the year. We look forward to meeting you in at an upcoming webcast, workshop, or community event.
Thanks for reading and staying connected.
