Naresh Koka of MPS Partners discusses the need for SAP integration using Microsoft tools. Many customers have spent millions on SAP but see low adoption rates among users due to usability issues and training costs. Decision makers lack time to navigate SAP's layers of screens. Microsoft Office tools can help increase the value of SAP investments by connecting people, processes, and information across systems. Microsoft's 450 million Office users position it well to address user adoption problems. Microsoft Office Business Applications unlock hidden value in SAP by allowing unstructured work in a familiar Office environment while providing access to SAP data for informed decisions.
