Advantages of Microsoft Azure for SAP customers
The number of global companies are seeking to optimize cost and enhance agility while ensuring security and compliance through the cloud grows by the day. By mutually leveraging their technologies, Microsoft and SAP have created an opportunity for multi-national organizations to achieve a seamless integration on cloud. In addition, the organizations also gain the advantages of agility, lower cost, and risk reduction.
Employees can gain proficiency in both SAP and Azure, so the need for training is greatly reduced. With Azure in their cloud transition, companies can look forward to several benefits:
- Speed and agility
Migration of an SAP system to a cloud environment needs to be smooth and quick, with minimal downtime or disruption. MS Azure can help speed up SAP operations and, in the process, re-structure to enhance the IT environment. - Customer insights
Migrating SAP systems to Azure provides a competitive edge as critical customer data is on hand. Azure features tools that help understand customer requirements accurately. Further, new-age technologies such as business intelligence (BI) and machine learning drive innovation to help companies stay ahead. For instance, companies do not need to wait for reports to get updates; SAP and Microsoft BI tools can provide a real-time dashboard view of operations. - Robust security
As organizational data and information grows multifold, especially in global enterprises, data security has become increasingly challenging. Microsoft is well known for adherence to stringent privacy policies and compliance processes, and Azure features a range of configuration options to ensure multi-layered protection of business-critical data.
