In episode 239 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about Azure NetApp Files. After focusing on AI in the last few shows, lets get back to something more deterministik: Storage! We had already talked about sophisticated storage requirements for SAP S/4HANA projects and how Azure NetApp Files provides one of the best and most performant options for the most demanding workload. However, flexibility was sometimes an issue. With the new flexible service level ANF allows you now to independently configure storage capacity and throughput, optimizing costs and performance by right-sizing based on your needs. To give us more insights on this (and covering the latest news around ANF in general) we have Geert joining us again.

In episode 192 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about SAP SuccessFactors and Microsoft Teams integration. When we talk about how Microsoft is a huge SAP customer we mainly talk about our SAP ERP ECC system or the RISE on Azure and SAP S/4HANA conversions that we are doing at the moment.

These enhancements aim to improve user experience and administrative flexibility. * Natural Language Processing: Future updates will include natural language processing, allowing users to interact with the app using conversational language, enhancing the user experience. * AI Interactions: AI capabilities will be integrated to provide intelligent interactions, such as recommending learning courses based on user roles and skills. * Delegated Permissions: Support for delegated type permissions will be introduced, offering more flexibility in single sign-on configurations and user consent processes. * User Experience Improvement: The planned enhancements are focused on improving the overall user experience by making the app more intuitive and responsive to user needs. * Administrative Flexibility: Enhancements like delegated permissions will provide administrators with more options and control over the app's setup and user access. * Multi-Language Support: Li, confirmed that the app supports multiple languages, aligning with Teams' language settings. However, customization of fixed content titles in different languages is not yet supported but is planned for future updates. This feature is crucial for global companies operating in multiple languages. * Language Support: The app supports multiple languages, allowing it to adapt to the language settings of Teams and cater to a diverse user base. * Customization Limitations: Currently, customization of fixed content titles in different languages is not available, but this feature is on the roadmap for future updates to accommodate global usage. * Global Company Needs: Multi-language support is essential for global companies with employees across different regions, ensuring that the app is accessible and usable for all. * Future Language Customization: Future updates will allow for greater language customization, enhancing the app's usability and relevance for international teams.

A key aspect of Leadership is realizing that you cannot be in every detail of a project for your organization. Instead, you have to trust your team to run experiments, fail often and quickly and provide you with feedback of what is working and sometimes more importantly, what's not working. So, how do you let go of being in control of all the details? What ingredients are needed to create a culture of collective responsibility instead of control?Today Deepa speaks with Jan Gilg about the limits of a controlling culture. Jan tells us how we can create empowered workplaces that build trust and growth for all.Jan's Tips for Avoiding Control Culture:Clarity is key. Give your employees the freedom to make decisions. Giving them this environment lets them get out of their comfort zone and grow. Stay away from the “how”.Over communicate with team members. Give boundaries and set up the right framework.Fail often, fail early is a key philosophy, not only in the Technology industry.Total consensus is not the goal in projects.As a leader- the more concerns you can hear, the better.Vulnerability is needed for all of these aspects of a product: running experiments, having feedback sessions and how things are going, and there is a sounding board as well. Articulate a clear vision and strategy in addition to acknowledging nothing is going to be perfect. Create the safety to have open communication, including challenges. This creates collective responsibility in the system.It's important to acknowledge and accept the realities of the world and life. We need to give employees more flexibility.You have to take time to create team spirit which builds collaboration and connection. Everyone needs to feel like they are part of something bigger than themselves, make sure you connect your people to that purpose and vision which will unlock potential and motivation. This creates amazing things.We hope you liked this episode! Let us know, what's a piece of advice from Jan that you'd like to start incorporating in your organization?Please feel free to connect with Jan and Deepa through LinkedIn to continue the conversation.About JanJan Gilg is President and Chief Product officer of SAP S/4HANA, which is SAP's flagship product that encompasses ERP, finance, and supply chain.
