And now, the Duet^tm architecture as you’ve never seen it before (drawn by an unknown artist):

Artistic isn’t it?

On the next few weeks I’ll try to create a series of posts regarding the design and architecture of Duet^tm .
In the meantime, some quick facts from behind the scenes:

• The Duet^tm client is built using the .NET 2.0 framework and an enhanced version of Microsoft Information Bridge Framework (IBF).
• The first version of Duet^tm concentrates on scenarios in the Outlook environment.
• Duet^tm is a joint effort with Microsoft and SAP and was developed by teams at 6 different worldwide locations.

If you have any technical question or specific areas you would like to hear about in future posts feel free to let me know…
