SAP is a leading provider of enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions that help businesses run better. However, running SAP applications on-premises can be costly, complex and risky. That’s why many SAP clients are looking for ways to migrate their SAP workloads to the cloud and take advantage of the benefits of cloud computing.
I had an electric moment when I joined my colleague and good friend Frank Keienburg on stage at the renowned Cloud Expo Europe in Frankfurt. Standing there, ready to dive into one of the most crucial topics in today’s digital business landscape, FinOps, or Financial Operations for the Cloud, I realized something important:
Do you have complete visibility into your cloud spend? In my last Post regarding FinOps I talked about the first steps like creating visibility about your cloud spend. Now, we want to start and deep dive into these starting points one by one. Today, we are making your Cloud spend transparent.
Let’s be real: Apple makes beautifully designed products, no doubt about that. They’re sleek, minimalistic, and instantly recognizable from a mile away. But here’s the thing. Sometimes, being one of millions with that glowing bitten apple just isn’t enough. Sometimes, you crave something more. Something uniquely you. Something to reflect your inner geek, your brand, or simply your own quirky personality.
Do you remember 2016? Pokémon Go had us wandering through parks, Stranger Things hit Netflix for the first time, and Microsoft launched its very own sovereign cloud in Germany, complete with data trustee and physical isolation. Well, guess what? We’re back. Sort of. Because Microsoft 365 is now—once again—available from German data centers.
Let’s start with a truth bomb:
💣 If you think the cloud will automatically save you money, you’re wrong.
Wait… what?
Don’t get me wrong. I love the cloud. I’ve spent the last 15+ years of my life helping companies move to it, build on it, innovate with it, and thrive because of it. But I’ve also seen what happens when they dive headfirst into public cloud services without understanding the economics behind it.
There are partnerships—and then there are strategic power moves that make you pause and think: “Okay, this is going to shake things up.” One of those just happened again: SAP and Microsoft are leveling up their cloud alliance. And as your local Microsoft Cloud nerd-in-residence, I’m here to break down why that matters, what’s new, and where we’re headed next.
Für Administratoren und auch für viele Anwender, kommt es immer wieder vor, dass Daten Massenweise importiert oder exportiert werden müssen. Das Mittel der Wahl ist oft eine Komma getrennte CSV Datei.
Ah, the humble Comma-Seperated CSV file. It’s not glamorous. It’s not flashy. But let’s be honest: it’s the Swiss army knife of data exchange. Whether you’re automating a process, mass-importing data into a system, or just trying to avoid the Excel-to-ERP blues. CSV is your loyal companion.
Sometimes Microsoft ships a feature that makes you go, “Wait, didn’t SharePoint already do this?” And the answer is: yes, but not like this.
Let me introduce you to a new friend in your Microsoft 365 toolbox: Microsoft Lists. And the good news? It’s finally landed in Germany. 🎉
2020 has been a wild ride so far. And for many of us, Microsoft Teams has become the digital home base, whether we were ready for it or not. Overnight, virtual collaboration turned from “nice-to-have” to “absolutely essential,” thanks to a certain virus that needs no further introduction. 🦠
Sometimes it starts with a name. And sometimes… a name change unleashes confusion, support tickets, and endless “Wait—what exactly do I have now?” questions.
April 21st, 2020 marks such a moment in Microsoft Cloud history:
All Office 365 Business plans officially become Microsoft 365.
