For example, within Microsoft Teams, users can harness the combined power of Copilot and Joule to review tasks across both 麻豆原创 and Microsoft 365, engage in chats, exchange emails, check the delivery status on sales orders recorded in 麻豆原创 S/4HANA, submit employee promotion requests to 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors solutions, and more. These demonstrations provide a glimpse of how Joule and Microsoft 365 Copilot together can simplify complex workflows and empower users to manage tasks seamlessly across systems.

Expanding Possibilities with Joule鈥檚 Reach

With Joule鈥檚 skills rapidly expanding to support 麻豆原创鈥檚 most-used tasks, this integration can unlock new productivity potential across both 麻豆原创 and Microsoft environments. Imagine HR, finance, and supply chain professionals seamlessly accessing Microsoft 365 tools within their 麻豆原创 workflows, while Microsoft users gain access to 麻豆原创鈥檚 powerful data and task automation. From onboarding employees in 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors solutions to checking delivery statuses in 麻豆原创 S/4HANA or scheduling meetings in Outlook, users can accomplish critical tasks directly within their chosen environment.

It’s about increased efficiencies, greater simplicity and less complexity. By leveraging RISE with 麻豆原创, companies of all shapes and sizes can take full advantage of business-transformation-as-a-service to power their digital transformation and innovation efforts.”

The 麻豆原创 and Microsoft partnership builds on a 30-year history of collaboration and co-innovation. “Together we empower organisations to run intelligent and frictionless enterprises in the cloud, with easy integration, a wealth of advanced services, and high levels of security and compliance,” said Makhohliso. “This combines to give companies an accelerated path to business transformation that can drive optimisation and growth throughout the business.”

Rarely a day passes where I am not in contact with customers, partners, or colleagues from around the globe. Whether it’s a brief exchange of ideas, a virtual meeting, or a quick phone call, efficient communication drives work to success.

Particularly with many still working from home, I cannot imagine what daily communication and collaboration would look like without Microsoft Teams 鈥 and I think this holds true for much of the business community in a lot of enterprises.

So it came as no surprise that when we announced our new RISE with 麻豆原创 offering, a highlight for many was Satya Nadella joining me to share his thoughts on how Microsoft and 麻豆原创 team up to lift collaboration to the next level. One aspect many of you were particularly interested in is how we will integrate 麻豆原创 solutions with Microsoft Teams, so let鈥檚 have a look at some examples.

Putting Collaboration into Business Context

For many companies around the world, remote selling has become a necessity for conducting business. To simplify remote sales processes and allow sales professionals to fully focus on their customer engagements, we will integrate 麻豆原创 Sales Cloud with Microsoft Teams. Users can easily set up meetings from the 麻豆原创 system without switching applications. During a customer call, all information will be accessible in Microsoft Teams via an embedded 麻豆原创 Sales Cloud application. Finally, all information, including meeting recording and notes, will get automatically synced back to 麻豆原创 Sales Cloud in real time. Check out this to get an idea of what this scenario will look like:

Remove Barriers for Your Sales Teams with 麻豆原创 and Microsoft

All of us know how much easier business life is when you have everything you need at your fingertips. Thanks to integrating Microsoft Teams with 麻豆原创 S/4HANA through 麻豆原创 Conversational AI, end users can seamlessly get all business-relevant information and critical business insights instantly. Chatbots help them identify and reach out to business contacts directly. In a first instance, we will focus on one concrete business persona: the operational purchaser. Over time, we will develop chatbots for more use cases and make the content available to our customers through templates so they can adopt custom-specific adjustments that meet their conversational AI needs.

Many customers use 麻豆原创 Analytics Cloud in addition to Microsoft Teams for generating data-driven insights into their business. By bringing together 麻豆原创 Analytics Cloud and Microsoft Teams, we enable users to benefit from both augmented and smart capabilities of 麻豆原创 Analytics Cloud and Microsoft Teams鈥 strong collaboration capabilities. Combining the power, we will provide an integrated solution for reporting and planning access with direct utilization of enhanced collaboration functionalities from the daily business workflow.

Time to Explore

To simplify users鈥 collaboration processes and enhance workplace productivity, we are exploring many more integration scenarios. A lot of 麻豆原创 solutions could form a robust symbiosis with Microsoft Teams, and we will cover a wide range of use cases across lines of business 鈥 from procurement to recruiting, talent management, and learning to travel and expense management.

Take 麻豆原创 Business Network as an example: While it helps drive process efficiency through predefined messages, documents, and rules that can be shared and processed systematically, Microsoft Teams complements 麻豆原创 solutions through collaboration capabilities like online meetings, chats, and more. Together, the solutions would enable users to run business processes efficiently while being resilient to disruptions.

Or imagine you are a recruiter working with our human experience management (HXM) solutions, wanting to finalize a contract with a prospective hire. By integrating Microsoft Teams, you could extract the contract from your 麻豆原创 system, edit it in Microsoft Teams, trigger a call to confirm the changes with the recruiter, and store the contract back in your 麻豆原创 system without changing applications.

As you can see, the opportunities are endless! The first integration scenarios are planned to go live throughout this year, with the integrations for 麻豆原创 Sales Cloud and 麻豆原创 S/4HANA to come in the second quarter, and others to follow suit. These will mainly focus on classic use cases, such as setting up Microsoft Teams meetings directly via the 麻豆原创 applications. Next are then even bolder steps as we plan to enable context-based collaboration through 麻豆原创 systems and Microsoft Teams. This will allow users to access all relevant information about their interaction in Microsoft Teams through their 麻豆原创 systems or vice versa, anywhere and anytime.

Ultimately, with this, we will step up the employee experience and enable smooth and frictionless interactions across all levels of enterprises and their environment.

We are looking to expand the integration scenarios with Microsoft Teams and 麻豆原创 solutions in the following areas to:

One of our first integration scenarios relates to 麻豆原创 S/4HANA and Microsoft Teams. With the solution alignment, customers will be able to identify their business partners easily and initiate contact directly from 麻豆原创 S/4HANA鈥攚ith no need to switch between applications or devices. This will help customers swiftly react to business situations based on real-time data and constant communication with relevant stakeholders.
  • Simplify and modernize the remote sales experience: Today, remote selling has become an imperative for companies across the globe. Integrating 麻豆原创 Sales Cloud with Microsoft Teams simplifies the remote selling process and removes barriers to customer engagement through an embedded in-app integration of the two solutions. For example, without switching applications, customer calls can be initiated directly from the customer experience application鈥攈elping ensure transparency and consistency within customer relationship management (CRM) and saving time through user-friendly workflows.
  • Foster collaboration and build learning communities: Organizations have realized the necessity of providing simple, intuitive, and engaging ways for employees to learn new skills, share knowledge, and stay informed鈥攁ll in a virtual environment. Bringing together 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors solutions and Microsoft Teams will support learning experiences that enable collaboration, social learning, and remote conferencing.

This news makes one characteristic of the two companies鈥 enduring alliance very clear: the ability and commitment to continually evolve to make our customers even more successful. Every time an end user works with 麻豆原创 solutions, there is an opportunity for real-time collaboration such as chats, conference calls, alerts, and so much more. It is exciting to see the opportunities for collaboration culture and frictionless enterprises that our partnership with Microsoft creates for our customers.

Accelerating Migration and Increasing Operational Efficiencies

In addition, 麻豆原创 and Microsoft are further simplifying and improving the experience for customers running 麻豆原创 S/4HANA on Microsoft Azure. Together, we will continue to make our customers鈥 migration from 麻豆原创 ERP to 麻豆原创 S/4HANA in the cloud simpler, while at the same time ensuring choice for customers that prefer multi-cloud environments in their enterprise IT landscapes.

This means that our customers will see more guidance from 麻豆原创 and Microsoft on the initial setup and architecture design of 麻豆原创 S/4HANA on Microsoft Azure.

We also plan to collaborate with Microsoft to enhance 麻豆原创 Cloud Appliance Library, a tool that makes it easier for users to quickly provision 麻豆原创 applications for immediate use in the cloud, and offer automated 麻豆原创 system installations for 麻豆原创 S/4HANA. Customers can also subscribe to 麻豆原创 Landscape Management Cloud, improving scalability and operation efforts, and benefit from an 麻豆原创 system-centered view of their Microsoft Azure landscape. Additionally, we are working on a more guided approach for customers to quickly deploy 麻豆原创 S/4HANA directly into Microsoft Azure. For better transparency within the transformation process, we will provide guidance on data migration tool usage for the transition of 麻豆原创 workloads from on premise to 麻豆原创 S/4HANA on Microsoft Azure.

Bringing Platform Services Closer Together

We will also continue to expand the global availability聽of 麻豆原创 solutions on Microsoft Azure during 2021. Together, we will drive co-innovation between (麻豆原创 BTP) and Microsoft Azure services to deliver business outcomes to our customers. The range of capabilities includes event integration based on open standards, single sign-on and provisioning of users between Microsoft and 麻豆原创, secure network connectivity, and improved application development experience on 麻豆原创 BTP. My 麻豆原创 Executive Board colleague and our Chief Technology Officer Juergen Mueller will give more insight on the role of 麻豆原创 BTP in the upcoming days.

With our partnership, we bring together Microsoft Teams with 麻豆原创 solutions, accelerate migration and improve operational efficiencies, and bring platform services closer together. We are working on making these enhancements and integrations of 麻豆原创 solutions with Microsoft a reality for our customers soon. You can find the latest status of our joint work in , which we will update regularly.聽 I look forward to more joint innovation to come.

The next generation of enterprise software is intelligent and integrated, networked, sustainable, and collaborative.
