Summary :
SAPoffice, SAP's groupware solution, is outdated, lacking modern functionalities such as Unicode support for its MAPI and Calsync services, and a web interface. It also has a non-enhanced user interface. SAP has ceased development of office communication enhancements, recommending users adopt third-party groupware systems with connectivity to SAP via standard mail functions. While the SAP Business Workplace continues to display and process work items, it won't be updated for messaging; alternatives for work item processing are suggested with references to specific notes for further details. Additionally, the note includes a development news attachment addressing the topic.

Key words :
