Technical expertise, a comprehensive offering and many years of relationship management: Microsoft is no newcomer to the SAP scene.<\/p>\n<p>Older community members will remember MS SQL Server 7 for SAP R\/3 - a disaster! But Microsoft learned from the disaster and did its homework. For many years, the Office and Windows group has been a loyal and constant companion to existing SAP customers.<\/p>\n<p>And then came the cloud: Microsoft recognized the needs and quickly concluded a partner agreement with Suse Linux to offer the SAP Hana database an optimal place in the Azure cloud.<\/p>\n<p>There is also Office 365, Business Skype etc. to meet the needs of existing SAP customers.
