AgendaAzure Cloud & SAP Innovation Government Summit

The steady convergence of information and operational technologies, and the need to collect, analyze, take action on, and defend larger and larger data sets make it imperative to adopt Cloud-first security operations platforms. In this session, Microsoft will share observations and lessons learned about moving global enterprise security operations to the Cloud, including the opportunities to modernize security architectures to meet changing workforce demands along the way. We will discuss the operational and cost efficiencies that come with adopting Cloud-based SecOps capabilities, and the benefits to your cyber workforce.

Global governments are facing an unprecedented need for expansion of its digital and virtual offerings due to COVID-19. This has created immediate demand, raising their technology risk profile, and changing long-term expectations for how Gov't interacts with residents. While there's an emerging convergence on a similar set of government technology priorities being written about in media, research centers and "smart government" commissions, the next level discussion is long-term strategic technology planning for Government. Meaning, what happens in 2021 will have a lot of impact on 2025 and 2030. The conversation and (strategy) for Government should be one that moves beyond a system level to an enterprise level.

SAP and Microsoft are partnering for almost three decades, providing reliable solutions to our customers. Building on our joint commitment and the Embrace partnership announcement in 2019, SAP and Microsoft announced in January 2021 an expanded partnership that spans across integrating Microsoft Teams with SAP's intelligent suite of solutions and expanding the existing strategic partnership to accelerate transformation with SAP S/4HANA® on Microsoft Azure, strengthen security and resilience and empower developers with an innovation ready platform. Most prominently the Microsoft Teams & SAP integration was also featured during SAP's RISE with SAP event with Satya Nadella joining Christian Klein during his keynote to highlight the benefits and ongoing partnership between SAP and Microsoft. During this fireside chat session Veronika Reger and Holger Bruchelt will talk about the announcement including the upcoming Microsoft Teams integrations, development efforts to accelerate migration and increase operational efficiency of SAP S/4 HANA on Microsoft Azure, and investments into security, and innovation with SAP Business Technology Platform.

The core SAP S/4HANA or SAP ERP system contains business data serving complex business processes such as Finance, Supply Chain, Human Resource, etc. You have business processes spanning across internal and external, SAP and non-SAP systems. Several of these processes require integration and extension between your on-premises, Azure services, and SAP Cloud Platform (SCP) services. While you want these systems to connect securely, you also need to modernize the overall experience with rapid innovation. We welcome you to join us in this webinar to explore the various integration methods to connect your S/4HANA or SAP ERP systems with other internal or external systems. You will also learn how to leverage these no code connectors from Azure, Power Platform, and SCP to solve customer's business requirements, and design the modern experience for your end users. Experience this session with a production grade live demo, and see how "Contoso" solved: automatic detection of the beverage unit failure with service engineer dispatch and COVID free employee onboarding.
