In episode 265 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about Delos Cloud.
For some countries sovereignty in the context of running applications in the cloud becoms more and more important. There are lots of aspects when it comes to this and different countries look at their own sovereig implementation. In Germany the Delos cloud is such a sovereign and secure cloud platform and I am happy to have Marc Böhnke with us today.

In episode 264 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we continue to talk about Security.
Two weeks back we started with a first introduction on the topic of SAP with Microsoft Security. Martin walked us through the different areas where we have offerings and where we are also working closely together with SAP.
It was a great overview, but also quite theoretically. So that's why today we want to spend more time on demos and actually show you how the security integration can look like acorss the board.

In episode 262 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about Security.
In the past, security was never really a prominent topic for SAP customers. When asked about their top 5 priorities in the next year, other topics were always on the top. To my suprise, this changed quite a bit: not only in the latest DSAG Survey Security came out as one of the most important topics.
So with todays session, we want to kick off several sessions focused completely on Security with SAP and Microsoft. This goes way beyond using Entra ID for Signle Sign-On and my colleague Martin Pankraz has focused on this for years. So I am really glad to have Martin back with us to kick off the security related sessions.

In episode 261 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we have another News update.
A few weeks back we had a News-only episode where we just looked at what had happened in the SAP and Microsoft space in recent weeks without focusing on any specfic topic. We actually got quite some positive feedback, so we decided to do this more often. It will be a shorter episode, but I think this is good with everyone. Of course, we will also continue to do our deep dives on specific topics.
However, before we get start today there is also one other thing that was brought up now several times. When you watch this show on YouTube, you are interrupted quite often with ads. Several of you wrote comments under some videos, and also some colleagues reached out to me. I want to be clear: we are not making any money with these videos. We have NOT activitated anything to earn money with this. So unfortunately there is very little that we can do. I hope you can still enjoy this and all of our other vidoes and you might just have to wait and skip some ads.

In episode 260 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about the DSAG Annual congress.
Last week I had the pleasure to attend the DSAG Annual congress in Bremen. DSAG is the German Speaking User Group and the annual event is the biggest and probably most relevant event for the german speaking community in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. This year was the first time, that I didn't present anything myself. I had honor of hosting our SAP with Microsoft track with great customer presentations, I attended many amazing customer sessions and I was again able to connect with lots of peers from SAP, partners and customers during the event. So today we want to recap the event and it is really great that we have Jens Hungershausen with us.

In episode 258 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about SAP and Microsoft.
From time to time we mention that Microsoft is a huge SAP customer. Not only since a few months, but since tens of years. So in a lot of cases our situation refelcts the same situation as a lot of customers out there. Roughly three years ago we had Frederic Huet from out internal SAP team talking about Microsoft running SAP. Three years is a pretty long time in the age of cloud and AI, so I am happy to have Fred back with us to share the latest on SAP at Microsoft.

In episode 257 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about latest news from the SAP and Microsoft ecosystem. Today we don't have any special guest, so we thought we would take a look at some of the latest news from the SAP and Microsoft ecospace. In earlier episodes we had a regular news block, but we shifted to specific topcs with experts. So maybe we will have dedicated News episode from time to time.

In episode 256 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about Community.
When I was still at SAP over 10 years ago, I loved working with DSAG, the German Speaking SAP User Group. For me -- in my last role as the product manager for SAP API Management -- it was always great to get direct consolidated customer feedback. To present the latest features and listen to what was resonating well and what not. So for me it was clear that I wanted to continue to work with DSAG in my role SAP product manager for SAP integration at Microsoft.
So today I am happy to have Sebastian Westphal the Executive Board Member for Technology at DSAG with us.

In episode 255 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about ASUG with Geoff Scott.
In my role as a product manager, I try to stay in contact with customers as much as possible. On the one hand I can help customers get started with new innovations, but I also get to learn and hear their feedback. So at the last Sapphire it was great for me to see, that Geoff Scott, CEO of ASUG, the American SAP User Group, was on stage during the keynote of Thomas Saueressig. Geoff has always great insights when it comes to customers and I am glad that we have him back on our show.

In episode 254 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about Entra ID Governance from a Customer perspective
We continue today with the topics around Entra ID and SAP. We have covered different aspects of the integration of Entra ID and SAP in different ways in the past, but we thought that today we could take a look from a customer perspective. I am glad to have Roj Koc with us today, who is working closely with customers in Denmark and northern Europe to share what he is seeing in the market.

In episode 253 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about SAP HCM with Microsoft Entra ID Governance.
In previous episodes we have talked about the extensibility concept of Entra ID, Entra ID Governance and other SAP integration. In a lot of customer scenarios, these integrations are relevant in the context of HCM. So today -- after more than 3 years -- I am happy to welcome Chetan Desai with us again. He recently published new guidance on integrating SAP HCM with Microsoft Entra ID Governance, using flexible provisioning options like CSV, SAP BAPI, or SAP IDocs

In episode 252 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about Autonmous Agents.
A few weeks back we had several hands-on sessions during the DSAG TechXChange event. One of the most popular sessions were the Copilot Studio & SAP sessions. I was lucky to work with Robin Rosengrün on those and although we had a recap session, Robin wasn't able to join our podcast at this time.
Now I am happy to have him with us to talk about Copilot Studio, Autonomous agents, when to use them and also look at the new Agent feed.

In episode 251 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about something that I have been working on together with a great team at SAP and Microsoft: the SAP Joule and Microsoft Copilot integration. Back in May at Sapphire Orlando Christoph Ruehle and I had an amazing crowd for our presentation about this, so today I am really glad to have not only him, but also Diana Patch from SAP with us to talk about the integration, what customers can use today and what is on our roadmap.

In episode 250 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about ABAP Vibe Coding!Vibe coding is a very hot topic at the moment. I myself have explored a few things and the results using Claude or GitHub Copilot are atcually pretty impressive. When doing this with ABAP, the results are only so-so. From timt to time the LLM suggests function modules or data objects that actually do not exist in the SAP system. This can be quite frustrating. So wouldn't it be great if there was a way to ground the LLM on the data objects that are actually available in MY SAP system? Well, I am glad to have Alice Vinogradova back with us to give us some sneek peak at what can happen if you combine the OData MCP Bridge, a custom OData service which exposes classes, interaces and functions and GitHub Copilot.

In episode 249 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about data again. In previous epiosdes we talked alot about what you can do with AI, Copilot and your SAP data. We see a lot of customers that have their SAP data in Fabric and let the magic begin. However, the first step for this integration is to get the data in Fabric and today we want to summarize several options to do that. To provide us with this overview, I am glad to have Ulrich Christ and Bartosz Jarkowski with us.

In episode 248 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about the Model Context Protocol and how to use it with SAP. Two weeks back Alice released the MCP Bridge on GitHub which basically enables you to expose any OData service as an MCP Server. I was lucky to be a very early tester of this MCP Bridge and I was blown away by the result. I had just picked a few random OData services and it all worked. Then I looked for commonly used SAP business OData service from the API Buinsess Hub -- and they also worked. Even more -- I was not only able to read information from my SAP system, but also writing back information was possible. So to take a closer look a the MCP Bridge I am really glad to have Alice Vinogradova with us today.

In the meantime he is continuing to build out his integration demos. I think he is now at part 9 of his demos. Today we want to take a step back and want to see what kind of integrations are possible when it comes to AI & AI from a Microsoft development point of view.

In episode 246 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about SAP Identity Management and Microsoft Entra ID. Since the announcement from SAP about SAP IDM, a lot of customers have already started their journey to move to Entra ID. We have had several customers talking about their experience and also hosted several hands-on sessions. Martin Raepple is key player in most of these discussions and today we want to show in more detail how the journey is evolving. To today he shows us how to integrate Microsoft Entra with SAP Cloud Identity Services and leverage Microsoft Entra's advanced features to migrate and modernize existing SAP IDM workflows, using self-service UIs, integration with SAP data sources, and much more.
