Microsoft Office Product Integration in GP

[richard_hirsch]

Hi,

I know there is rather extensive integration possiblities avialable for Adobe Document Services (ADS) in GP. I read somewhere that it is also possible to integrate other products.

Does anyone have any experience in this area? In particular with Microsoft Office products.

Thanks.

Hi Richard,

There is no built in ms office integration with GP. That is, you can not create a GP Callable Object which wraps an MS Office product.

You can interface/call GP from an MS Office product using one of two ways.

1. Use the SAP Duet infrastructure to call the GP Web Service from a MS office product - www.duet.com

2. Write custom .net code to call the GP Web Service

Either way, MS Office would be communicating to the GP Process via web services. This way, actions in MS office can affect the GP workflow.

Regards,

Austin.

One addtional comment, GP does support interactive form integration based on <a href="http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/FX010857921033.aspx">microsoft office infopath</a>. That is, you can create a Callable Object type Interactive Form based on a MS Infopath form.
