Episode #247
Introduction
In episode 247 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about SAP and AI again. Just a few weeks back we had CJ on our show to talk about Azure AI and SAP. In the meantime he is continuing to build out his integration demos. I think he is now at part 9 of his demos. Today we want to take a step back and want to see what kind of integrations are possible when it comes to AI & AI from a Microsoft development point of view.
