Microsoft Brings SAP Apps To Azure Cloud

That flexibility applies to the computing capacity that customers will rent on Azure, but the software licensing side of the proposition is not elastic. SAP customers can bring existing software licenses to Azure, but they must be licensed to support peak workloads and cannot drop licenses when not in use. The database service options for running on Azure will include SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (formerly Sybase ASE) and Microsoft SQL Server 2012. SAP  is certified on Microsoft SQL Server 2014. In-memory performance also figures in new ties between SAP BusinessObjects business intelligence software and Microsoft Office. Deeper integration through the SAP Gateway for Microsoft specifically lets Microsoft Excel users explore a BusinessObjects Universe.
