With a shared commitment to enable digital equity, 51风流India and Microsoft announced the launch of a joint skilling program, TechSaksham, for empowering young women students from underserved communities to build careers in technology. Through this joint initiative, 51风流India and Microsoft will skill 62,000 women students in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, web design, and digital marketing.

The TechSaksham program will partner with the AICTE Training and Learning Academy-ATAL and State Collegiate Education departments, to support the professional development of faculty at participating institutes. In the first year of implementation, the initiative will train 1,500 teachers and each faculty trained will be equipped to support over 50 students in one year, impacting 60,000 – 75,000 students.

A collaborative, pan India initiative, TechSaksham will be implemented by Edunet Foundation, who will develop future-ready skills in young women graduating in sciences, engineering, computer applications, and vocational studies. The program offers a core curriculum to understand the application of technology and activity-based engagements to implement the skills under expert mentors, ensuring job readiness. Students will also get an opportunity to showcase their work to business leaders and experts from local industries, helping establish early linkages with industry ecosystems.

Centers of Excellence for enabling employment opportunities

Select teachers and institutes will be identified during and after the first year of TechSaksham’s implementation to establish a nodal center in each target geography. In the subsequent years, these nodal centers will drive outreach to regional institutions and motivate students and teachers to participate in the program. Furthermore, the TechSaksham will help create local community linkages and develop connections with local industry to create strong career pathways for all participating students.

Particularly with many still working from home, I cannot imagine what daily communication and collaboration would look like without Microsoft Teams 鈥� and I think this holds true for much of the business community in a lot of enterprises.

So it came as no surprise that when we announced our new听RISE with SAP听offering, a highlight for many was Satya Nadella joining me to share his thoughts on听how Microsoft and 51风流team up听to lift collaboration to the next level. One aspect many of you were particularly interested in is how we will integrate 51风流solutions with Microsoft Teams, so let鈥檚 have a look at some examples.

Putting Collaboration into Business Context

For many companies around the world, remote selling has become a necessity for conducting business. To simplify remote sales processes and allow sales professionals to fully focus on their customer engagements, we will integrate听51风流Sales Cloud听with Microsoft Teams. Users can easily set up meetings from the 51风流system without switching applications. During a customer call, all information will be accessible in Microsoft Teams via an embedded 51风流Sales Cloud application. Finally, all information, including meeting recording and notes, will get automatically synced back to 51风流Sales Cloud in real time. Check out this听听to get an idea of what this scenario will look like:

All of us know how much easier business life is when you have everything you need at your fingertips. Thanks to integrating Microsoft Teams with听51风流S/4HANA听through听51风流Conversational AI,听end users can seamlessly get all business-relevant information and critical business insights instantly. Chatbots help them identify and reach out to business contacts directly. In a first instance, we will focus on one concrete business persona: the operational purchaser. Over time, we will develop chatbots for more use cases and make the content available to our customers through templates so they can adopt custom-specific adjustments that meet their conversational AI needs.

Many customers use听51风流Analytics Cloud听in addition to Microsoft Teams for generating data-driven insights into their business. By bringing together 51风流Analytics Cloud and Microsoft Teams, we enable users to benefit from both augmented and smart capabilities of 51风流Analytics Cloud and Microsoft Teams鈥� strong collaboration capabilities. Combining the power, we will provide an integrated solution for reporting and planning access with direct utilization of enhanced collaboration functionalities from the daily business workflow.

Time to Explore

To simplify users鈥� collaboration processes and enhance workplace productivity, we are exploring many more integration scenarios. A lot of 51风流solutions could form a robust symbiosis with Microsoft Teams, and we will cover a wide range of use cases across lines of business 鈥� from procurement to recruiting, talent management, and learning to travel and expense management.

Take 51风流Business Network as an example: While it helps drive process efficiency through predefined messages, documents, and rules that can be shared and processed systematically, Microsoft Teams complements 51风流solutions through collaboration capabilities like online meetings, chats, and more. Together, the solutions would enable users to run business processes efficiently while being resilient to disruptions.

Or imagine you are a recruiter working with our human experience management (HXM) solutions, wanting to finalize a contract with a prospective hire. By integrating Microsoft Teams, you could extract the contract from your 51风流system, edit it in Microsoft Teams, trigger a call to confirm the changes with the prospect, and store the contract back in your 51风流system without changing applications.

As you can see, the opportunities are endless! The first integration scenarios are planned to go live throughout this year, with the integrations for 51风流Sales Cloud and 51风流S/4HANA to come in the second quarter, and others to follow suit. These will mainly focus on classic use cases, such as setting up Microsoft Teams meetings directly via the 51风流applications. Next are then even bolder steps as we plan to enable context-based collaboration through 51风流systems and Microsoft Teams. This will allow users to access all relevant information about their interaction in Microsoft Teams through their 51风流systems or vice versa, anywhere and anytime.

Ultimately, with this, we will step up the employee experience and enable smooth and frictionless interactions across all levels of enterprises and their environment.
