Unofficial SAP on Azure podcast

In episode 253 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about SAP HCM with Microsoft Entra ID Governance. In previous episodes we have talked about the extensibility concept of Entra ID, Entra ID Governance and other SAP integration. In a lot of customer scenarios, these integrations are relevant in the context of HCM. So today -- after more than 3 years -- I am happy to welcome Chetan Desai with us again. He recently published new guidance on integrating SAP HCM with Microsoft Entra ID Governance, using flexible provisioning options like CSV, SAP BAPI, or SAP IDocs Find all the links mentioned here: https://www.saponazurepodcast.de/episode253 Reach 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 #HCM #EntraID

In episode 252 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about Autonmous Agents. A few weeks back we had several hands-on sessions during the DSAG TechXChange event. One of the most popular sessions were the Copilot Studio & SAP sessions. I was lucky to work with Robin Rosengrün on those and although we had a recap session, Robin wasn't able to join our podcast at this time. Now I am happy to have him with us to talk about Copilot Studio, Autonomous agents, when to use them and also look at the new Agent feed.

In episode 251 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about something that I have been working on together with a great team at SAP and Microsoft: the SAP Joule and Microsoft Copilot integration. Back in May at Sapphire Orlando Christoph Ruehle and I had an amazing crowd for our presentation about this, so today I am really glad to have not only him, but also Diana Patch from SAP with us to talk about the integration, what customers can use today and what is on our roadmap.

In episode 250 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about ABAP Vibe Coding!Vibe coding is a very hot topic at the moment. I myself have explored a few things and the results using Claude or GitHub Copilot are atcually pretty impressive. When doing this with ABAP, the results are only so-so. From timt to time the LLM suggests function modules or data objects that actually do not exist in the SAP system. This can be quite frustrating. So wouldn't it be great if there was a way to ground the LLM on the data objects that are actually available in MY SAP system? Well, I am glad to have Alice Vinogradova back with us to give us some sneek peak at what can happen if you combine the OData MCP Bridge, a custom OData service which exposes classes, interaces and functions and GitHub Copilot.

In episode 249 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about data again. In previous epiosdes we talked alot about what you can do with AI, Copilot and your SAP data. We see a lot of customers that have their SAP data in Fabric and let the magic begin. However, the first step for this integration is to get the data in Fabric and today we want to summarize several options to do that. To provide us with this overview, I am glad to have Ulrich Christ and Bartosz Jarkowski with us.
