How will SAP affect departments staffed by Macintosh users?
Currently, SAPGUI only runs on the Windows platform. A major goal of the project was single sign-on in the SAP environment, something that could not be accomplished with the Macintosh operating system in the appropriate timeframe for Go Lives. Additionally, SAPGUI interfaces directly with Microsoft Office in the environment. Once Campus Management is live and “settled,” the team will revisit the use of SAPGUI on the Macintosh platform. Students who are Macintosh users can access IRIS through the use of a browser without having to use SAPGUI.
