1- Product in development

Why we chose Duet Enterprise

• SAP worked well for our complex purchasing &

purchasing approval environment and we wanted to

protect that investment.

• SharePoint was already widely embraced as our

Corporate intranet.

• Needed to enable our occasional SAP users to

perform simple “SAP” transactions without training

and while on the road.

• We wanted to consolidate the various applications

requiring electronic approvals.

• We were not ready to commit to a mobile device

strategy, but we were embracing “Bring Your Own

Device (BYOD).

GT Advanced Technologies driving factors towards Duet Enterprise


Short-term goals of Duet Enterprise

• Allow “non-SAP” members of the senior and

executive management team to review and approve

Purchase Orders via a mobile-enabled and simplified

interface

• Create a simplified Purchase Order creation form for

non-stock purchase orders.

• Provide the ability for GTAT management to run

reports in SAP from our Corporate Intranet portal

Best Practices and Lessons learned

• Duet Enterprise implementation, hardware and

software requirements more complex than

anticipated.

• SharePoint needs to be running Version 2010;

upgrade somewhat involved.

• SharePoint introduces latency that previously didn’t

exist natively in SAP.


Future plans for Duet

• Master Data Management – Provide simplified forms

for requesting and approving Master Data Changes

in SAP via SharePoint

– New Vendor Requests

– New Customer Requests

• Expand SharePoint capabilities to have a

consolidated “My Approvals” portal, where Purchase

Orders, Sales Orders, Contract Amendments, Travel

Requests, Vacation Request, etc. are all consolidated

on a single portal page.
