This will help\nclients run operations hosted at remote servers, supported by SAP\u2019s flagship\nS\/4HANA database. The goal is to allow SAP customers to more easily migrate from\ntheir existing on-premises models into the cloud by simplifying the migration\nto SAP S\/4HANA and SAP Cloud Platform on Microsoft Azure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>So, what this means for SAP customers is that\nmoving to the cloud is about to get a lot easier, faster, and less expensive.&nbsp; It will also provide new and exciting\nopportunities to both SAP service providers and partners, Microsoft partners,\nand cloud service providers.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the agreement, Microsoft will resell components\nof SAP Cloud Platform alongside Azure. It will reduce the complexity and\nminimize costs for customers as they move to SAP S\/4HANA in the cloud. While the\npartnership strengthens SAP\u2019s relationship with Microsoft and its Azure cloud\ndivision and positions Microsoft as SAP\u2019s preferred partner for cloud solutions,\nEmbrace will also work with Google and Amazon Web Services to provide customers\nwith flexibility for their business solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Benefits of the Partnership Between SAP and Microsoft<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few key takeaways about the new partnership\nbetween SAP and Microsoft and the benefits that Embrace offers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Embrace\nwill reduce the complexity of your move to the cloud by bundling SAP cloud\nservices to simplify your migration to SAP S\/4HANA and SAP Cloud Platform on\nMicrosoft Azure.<\/li><li>Reducing\nthe complexity of the migration to the cloud means lowering your costs by\nsimplifying the process, reducing the amount of time needed to migrate, and\nstreamlining support.<\/li><li>A\nnew collaborative support model for Azure and SAP Cloud Platform will help ease\nyour migration, improve communication, and simplify resolution.<\/li><li>Bringing\nthese two massive cloud platforms is likely to increase the availability of\nservices and competencies that CSP\u2019s can offer, so partners can expect new business\nopportunities.<\/li><li>SAP\nservice providers will have access to the Microsoft partner network of\ntechnology companies to assist in building business solutions with Microsoft\ntechnologies.<\/li><li>Increased\nrevenue for both companies means there may be increased availability of\nbusiness development funds (BDF) and marketing development funds (MDF) for\npartners on both sides.<\/li><li>Working\nwith industry leaders ensures that you can transition into SAP intelligent\nenterprises and bring your mission-critical services into the cloud with\nconfidence.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Cloud is the Future<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>This partnership\nbetween SAP and Microsoft is a powerful indicator that the entire cloud\nbusiness is maturing and reaching new levels of power and sophistication.&nbsp; With cloud computing becoming more important\nthan ever before, this new partnership provides a unique opportunity for you to\ntake advantage of the power of these solutions and move your data and services\nto the cloud to poise your business to improve your existing offerings and\npoise yourself to take advantage of future opportunities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SAP and Microsoft recently announced they had signed a three-year partnership to help simplify the process for SAP customers to bring their data to the cloud.
