In this episode we have a discussion with my good friend Phil Cooley. Phil is the CTO of Bourne Digital in Melbourne Australia and a standout example of an SAP community member who is an active learner and participant in all things SAP. DISCLAIMER: this episode was recorded prior to SAP rebranding to the SAP Business Technology Platform so all references to SAP Cloud Platform are used in that pre BTP context. Phil tells us about how to help customers with real use cases connecting SAP data with the SAP Cloud Platform, advantages of using replicated data, as well as using IFrames extensions, and of course API’s. Enjoy!
