SAP and Microsoft have discussed closer cooperation. Above all, the cloud services of the two software giants are to be better coordinated.
Good news for all companies using the SAP In Memory Platform HANA want to utilise: The benefits of the high-performance database can now also be utilised via the Microsoft Cloud.
In future, customers will be able to use SAP's enterprise cloud Hana on Microsoft's Azure platform fully integrated in a secure environment.
The two companies have also announced that they will utilise each other's technologies in their own IT projects. Microsoft, for example, wants to introduce S/4Hana Central Finance.
With the opening of Azure for SAP HANA, the last of the really big cloud providers has also opened its doors to SAP technology. Amazon Web Services (AWS) has been providing the corresponding offer for some time now. SAP technology can also be operated on the Google Cloud platform.
SAP and Microsoft launch partnership for SAP Business One
Of course, it also seems possible to run SAP Business One on Microsoft's Azure cloud. This is obvious either way, as SAP B1 can also be set up on the basis of a Microsoft SQL database. However, the option to also select HANA as the basis now offers the full range of possibilities.
Versino Projects has been working for some time on utilising synergy effects from the Microsoft and SAP offerings. For example, the integration of Microsoft Power BI has made it possible to utilise the cloud tool's analysis capabilities for SAP Business One.
MS Power Bi is a set of tools for analysing data. The data can be visualised and evaluated in combination with various sources.
The cloud service can provide a wide variety of parties with analyses based on SAP B1 data via the network.
