Introduction
In episode 201 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about Microsoft Copilot and SAP S/4HANA Cloud, Public Edition.
We are now at over 200 episodes and I actually saw that we also passed 7000 subscribers – thank you everyone for listening in and subscribing! To celebrate this achievement I am really happy to have Christian Hoffmann from SAP joining us today. For the last few years we have worked together on the Teams integration SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud. If you attended SAP Sapphire or saw some of the videos online you might have seen the next evolution of this – the Microsoft Copilot integration. Christian will explain this a little more and also show us how the integration looks like.
