In April, Microsoft and SAP announced the joint development of a product, code-named "Mendocino," intended to help companies gain a competitive advantage by revolutionizing the way information workers access, analyze and use enterprise data to make better business decisions. "Mendocino" will link SAP process functionality directly to Microsoft Office applications. Users of this product, the first to be developed jointly between SAP and Microsoft, will enjoy the familiarity of Microsoft Office as they access SAP business processes and information. Chris Caren, general manager of Microsoft's Office Business Applications group, sat down with PressPass to discuss the "Mendocino" project, the December technology preview milestone, and how "Mendocino" relates to Microsoft's Office business and strategy.
