-In this quickstart, get started with Azure Monitor for SAP solutions by using the [Az.Workloads](/powershell/module/az.workloads) PowerShell module to create Azure Monitor for SAP solutions resources. You create a resource group, set up monitoring, and create a provider instance.
+Azure Monitor for SAP solutions is an Azure-native monitoring product for SAP landscapes that run on Azure. If your critical SAP applications run on Azure, use it to monitor their availability, performance, and operation.
+
+In this quickstart, you use Azure PowerShell to deploy an Azure Monitor for SAP solutions resource and connect it to your SAP system through a provider instance.
 
 ## Prerequisites
 
 - If you don't have an Azure subscription, create a [free account](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/purchase-options/azure-account?cid=msft_learn) before you begin.
-- If you choose to use PowerShell locally, this article requires that you install the Az PowerShell module. Connect to your Azure account by using the [Connect-AzAccount](/powershell/module/az.accounts/connect-azaccount) cmdlet. For more information about installing the Az PowerShell module, see [Install Azure PowerShell](/powershell/azure/install-az-ps). Alternately, you can use [Azure Cloud Shell](../../cloud-shell/overview.md).
