It looks like Microsoft And SAP are forming a cloud partnership. Julie Bort writes on the Business Insider blog:
Microsoft and SAP announced a partnership which will let Microsoft's cloud compete more heavily with Amazon in the coveted enterprise cloud computing market.
SAP already has a similar partnership with Amazon in which most of these apps are available on Amazon's cloud, too. Ditto for SAP apps being available on IBM's cloud. But SAP does not have an agreement with Google for its Google Compute Engine cloud.
This isn't a new partnership. Microsoft and SAP have been making their products work together for 20 years. But this is somewhat of a coupe for Microsoft, particularly over Amazon, because Microsoft is also making SAP's apps work with better with Microsoft's cloud version of Office, Office 365, and Windows Phone, the two companies said.
These partnerships allow SAP customers to use either Microsoft, Amazon or IBM cloud services. Microsoft's new offering offers the immediate advantage of working with the Office suite and Windows Phone.
