Microsoft LOBI

Microsoft is opening Office to third parties through a new add on feature called Line of Business interoperability, or LOBi, for Share Point Server. With LOBi, Microsoft Office applications will be able to manage transactions with back office ERP systems.

Microsoft will be offering this integration with their Microsoft Dynamics range half way through next year ,what is interesting is ,there are third party vendors who have signed up to use Microsoft LOBI with their own ERP systems such as Epicor and Workday.
