By TechTaffy Desk

Microsoft and SAP announced integrated cloud offerings on Monday. The two companies will also be deploying each other’s cloud solutions internally, according to the companies.

SAP Hana Enterprise Cloud will be available on Microsoft Azure. Additionally, Microsoft will deploy SAP S/4HANA on Azure to help run its own internal finance processes. SAP will move its key internal business critical systems to Azure.

SAP and Microsoft both will run SAP S/4HANA on Azure for their internal operations. Microsoft is updating its internal systems — which include legacy SAP finance applications — and will implement the SAP S/4HANA Finance solution running on Azure. Microsoft also plans to connect SAP S/4HANA to Azure AI and analytics services, say the companies.
