Unofficial SAP on Azure podcast

In episode 302 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about Modernize SAP Identity Management with Microsoft Entra. A lot of companies are currently rethinking how they manage identities across their SAP landscape. Many organizations have both SAP for their ERP and Microsoft Entra ID is used for Windows, Microsoft 365, Azure, and many other applications across the enterprise.At the same time, SAP Identity Management is reaching end of life, and customers are looking for a replacement.Over the last years, Microsoft and SAP have been working closely together to make this easier. With Microsoft Entra, SAP Cloud Identity Services, and SAP Identity Access Governance, customers can automate joiner, mover, and leaver processes, improve governance, and apply access policies more consistently across their environment.There are also some important new capabilities: more flexible provisioning patterns, support for SAP-specific extension attribute, and deeper integration between Microsoft Entra ID Governance and SAP Identity Access Governance.To tell us more about all of this, I’m very happy to welcome Sri to the show.Find all the links mentioned here: https://www.saponazurepodcast.de/episode302Reach out to us for any feedback / questions:* Goran Condric: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gorancondric/* Holger Bruchelt: https://www.linkedin.com/in/holger-bruchelt/ #Microsoft #SAP #Azure #SAPonAzure #SAPIAS #EntraID #MicrosoftEntra #IdentityGovernance #ZeroTrust #SAPSecurity #SAPCloudIdentityServices

In episode 298 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about LogServ with Sentinel and enhancing Support for RISE on AWS & GCP. In previous episodes we already talked about LogServ and how this can help collecting, storing and forwarding log information. The SAP LogServ integration with Microsoft Sentinel is already used by lots of SAP RISE customers. When your SAP on RISE system is running on Azure that is an obvious choice. But what if you selected AWS or GCP as the underlying infrastructure? I am glad to have Martin, Bastian and Hemanth from SAP with us today.
