Unofficial SAP on Azure podcast

In episode 310 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about SAP LeanIX with Microsoft Teams.Enterprise Architecture repositories are incredibly valuable — at least in theory. But in practice, many of them become hard-to-access systems that only a few specialists use, and even fewer people keep up to date. Over time, the data gets stale, the trust disappears, and the repository becomes more of a museum than a working tool.Today we want to look at a different approach. Together with Michael Sukachev, we will talk about how SAP LeanIX can become much more accessible through Microsoft Teams and AI agents.Michael, hello and welcome.In episode 310 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about SAP LeanIX with Microsoft Teams.Find all the links mentioned here: https://www.saponazurepodcast.de/episode310Reach 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 #SAPLeanIX #EnterpriseArchitecture #MCP #CopilotStudio #MicrosoftTeams

In episode 309 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about SAP Edge Integration Cell running on Azure Kubernetes Service. A month ago, the SAP Expert Lecture “Accelerating Hybrid Integrations with SAP Integration Suite on Microsoft Azure” launched — and it has been great to see the response from the community.The idea behind it is simple: your teams should be *building* SAP integrations, not babysitting the infrastructure underneath them. With SAP Edge Integration Cell running on Azure Kubernetes Service, Azure helps with the platform foundation — from cluster operations, patching, and scaling to monitoring with Azure Monitor and the Azure SRE Agent.So in today’s episode, I am happy to welcome Shilpa and Jannis from SAP and out own Martin Pankraz to talk about this new lecture.

In episode 308 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about impressions from the German-speaking SAP User Group Congress 2026 in Cologne.This time we have a special episode together with Martin Fischer from Neptune Software, recorded live from DSAG. We look back at the first two days of the conference, including the DSAG keynotes, the annual survey results, and the discussions around S/4HANA, ECC, RISE, AI, Joule, API policy, licensing, sovereignty, and customer readiness.Together we discuss where SAP’s vision is heading, what customers are excited about, and where many open questions remain — from product maturity and commercial models to the very practical reality that many customers are still working on foundational transformation topics.Find all the links mentioned here: https://www.saponazurepodcast.de/episode308Reach 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 #DSAG #S4HANA #RISEwithSAP #BusinessAI #Joule #CleanCore

In episode 306 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about workload identity based authentication. A lot of companies have SAP SuccessFactors for their HR related processes. At the same time they are using Microsoft Entra ID for their Windows, Microsoft 365 and a lot of other authentications. For quite some time we have worked with SAP to use Microsoft Entra to orchestrate the identities for your employees and their access accross your SAP applications. SAP plans to deprecated basic authentication for SAP SuccessFactors APIs, so we have been working to offer workload identity-based authentication for the Microsoft Entra SAP SuccessFactors provisioning integrations. To tell us more about this new functionality, I am happy to have Chetan Desai back with us.
