How to Integrate SAP with Azure?

Integrated systems have become critical in the corporate business world. In this article, we will get to know SAP and Azure, which are considered the world leaders in their respective sectors. 

What is SAP?

SAP, one of the world's leading software companies, offers ERP and enterprise business applications. The comprehensive solutions provided by SAP are used by hundreds of thousands of customers from different industries all over the world. SAP users position SAP ERP as an information system in which they integrate all of their organizations' data and processes at a single point.

SAP has transferred many separate structures from finance to purchasing, logistics to warehouse monitoring, and from payroll to warehouse management, into its modular system, and has successfully linked them with each other.

What is Microsoft Azure?

Microsoft Azure is Microsoft's cloud application development and infrastructure platform. Azure enables its users to develop internet applications that run on the internet and can keep their data in Microsoft Data Center.

The biggest advantage of Microsoft Azure is having comprehensive cloud computers for low fees. It saves companies from establishing their own private infrastructure and meeting the maintenance expenses of the infrastructure they have established while using the cloud platform. Azure provides hundreds of cloud-based system services such as various virtual machines, SQL databases, Active Directory Domain Service to the service of companies. Thus, the cloud-based service needs of companies are met in a practical way.

The purpose of the integration is to integrate the business processes between the two systems, enabling businesses to effectively benefit from Azure's features such as scalability, security, reliability and advanced cloud services.
