Episode #200
Introduction
In episode 200 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about the partnership between SAP and Microsoft. We are at episode 200! 200 episodes ago, Robert, Goran and I started to record this weekly call. We wanted to cover the space between SAP and Microsoft and I think we have done a fairly good job. We had lots of guests from Microsoft, but also SAP and other partners here on the show that talked about the combination of SAP and Microsoft. Today I am really happy to have Silvio Bessa with us, the global Lead of our SAP Business Unit at Microsoft.
